Yes. You're right about this and I hope you are able to remember this the next time you or a fellow blue or a group of blues completely ignore the Constitutional rights of others and trample on them or support the idea of liberal judges reinterpreting and eliminating some of them and making it possible/ clearing the obstacles for liberals to eventually control most of everything and understand why we don't support the liberals and view them as a threat.
We live in an ever changing world, and one where change is occurring at a faster pace than ever. Try to align that with the judicial temperament that "originalists" claim to follow. You can't and neither can they. Case in point: the 2nd Amendment was written to assure the right of ordinary citizens to keep arms in support of militias. Never mind that we no longer have them, originalist Scalia found a tortured interpretation that manufactured an individual right without any justification. I assume you agree with Scalia, but that ruling is almost certain to fall at some point -- soon I hope. Another bizarre ruling is Citizens United that gave constitutional rights to corporations. Really? Does anyone think that corporations have speech rights other than that small coterie of RW Justices. There are many other similar issues that Blue America has with the RW SCOTUS of today. Give a few examples of things you see wrong in the opposite direction.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
