Originalism

[DC Al Fine]

     The argument strikes me as specious. The Constitution is based on certain principles of government (and a whole lot of compromises too). Those principles don't change when the Constitution itself is changed.

And then there's the other side of things. If you're not arguing based on the text and it's historical context, what else is there to argue based on. If you abandon textualism, you're basically have nine princes making laws by fiat.
