    Careful, the “Original Intent” line of logic leads to Originalism and you could end up on SCOTUS!

        The problem with a lot of originalist shit is that the people talking about it just selectively apply it where they want. The supreme court will happily apply common law right up until you point out judges in it being tried for corruption. Then suddenly their wars turn off and judicial immunity has just existed forever.
