Especially since the "originalists" are being quite disingenuous. They've wanted for quite a while to start a new Constitutional Convention to rewrite the thing from scratch. They don't really respect the founders as much as we think they do. They want to become the new founders, and force their great-great-grandchidren into boxes they make.
Agreed, and if they re-interpret the Constitution completely from the original meanings you might even revive slavery. Well, surely they can't, and that shows how arbitrary the originalist position is.
