ComradeCosmobot posted:Original Intent means "whatever the founding fathers would have said about this". This would be Legislative History, which originalists have always rejected. This is true. For you see, the Constitution is like the Torah. The document was literally perfect the section the last signature was added. Subsequent developments have been mere heresies and innovations that taint the original divine message of the document and we should be working like rabbinical scholars to try our best to restore the original intent of the document as conceived by men of unfathomable genius, the likes of whom our nation may never see again. I have heard an apologist for Scalia use roughly this kind of wording before. It's borderline Bioshock sentiment.
