If you knew about Wickard -and rulings like it-, then you knew that judges frequently interpret and -through the act of interpretation- shape law. Because you knew this, you also knew that your statement "Judges do not make law." was a falsehood.
Like it or not, we live with a Judicial system that considers both the text of a law and the court precedent relating to that law.
We've been living in this system since the founding of the Republic. We have always had the system that you say we shouldn't, and we will very likely continue to have it until the day that the Republic has vanished from the earth.
Honestly, you might be happier in one of those European countries that give their courts zero room for interpretation. :)
