 The Constitution was written by a number of white men 232 years ago, 1787. How do you accurately infer what they would think in a 21st century? It's hard. Doing law is hard, isn't it? Law students, you find it that hard? Yeah, it's hard. I'm not here to tell you it's easy, and I'm not here to tell you there's always a single right answer. All right? But it's what judges and lawyers have done for a millennium. That's what we do. I can find you a hundred if I can find you one Supreme Court decision that says that judges should interpret statutes and contracts according to their original public meaning. And I'm unclear why we shouldn't do the same thing with the Constitution. Our founders rejected. They knew what an evolving living Constitution looked like. They came from England. They chose to write things down instead. They chose a different path deliberately.
