I would rather our justices be more pragmatic and less originalist. Conservatives are usually more original than not and liberals are usually more pragmatic than not. So the justice I would rather go with is likely to be liberal.

Aren't you afraid that having no firm foundations to what the constitution means leaves it open to abuse? I know that conservative judges use originalism to push conservative policy outcomes but at least they leave it open for the congress to make changes.
