eisegesis (eye-si-JEE-sis) noun, plural eisegeses (-seez)
An interpretation, especially of Scripture, that expresses the
interpreter's own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning
of the text.
[From Greek eisegesis, equivalent to eis- into + (h)ege- (stem of hegeisthai
to lead) + -sis.]
"It should be noted that the Tenth Amendment does not say that powers not
explicitly delegated to the United States are reserved to the states, even
though the Supreme Court, in a startling example of eisegesis, once read
the word explicitly into the text of the Tenth Amendment.
