    It’s not the founders’ fault that they didn’t foresee all future problems. They included the ability to amend the Constitution. It’s our fault for not doing that. Originalism makes no sense because the founders wanted us to change what they had done and improve it.

    The Founding Fathers: “We’re not gods or kings. That’s literally the opposite of what we fought for.”

    Originalists: “OMG God-King Founding Daddies pls rule me from beyond the grave”

      The Emperor of Man: “Gods don’t exist, use logic and science!”

      The Imperium of Man: “All hail the God-Emperor, where are the 1000 sacrifices?”
