Gotta stop the blacks from voting, it's what our founding fathers would want.

Well, actually, yeah, most of them probably would not have liked the idea of black people voting...or women...or people who didn't own land. Which is why strict constructionism is such a profoundly stupid idea.

Indeed it is. Originalism, however, which is likely also what you're trying to get at here, has little to do with the merits of the Constitution but rather what it means.
