To me it seems a little too narrow, similar to religious literalism.
I don't think that the SCOTUS should over reach, getting involved in things that shouldn't be their business.
I do think that the problem with originalism is close to the problem religious people have with literalism. It is an obvious comparison to me because originalists (ACB for example) can also be very religious.
The Constitution does allow for rulings beyond it's "letter". For example, how would you interpret the phrase "promoting the general welfare"?
