No, I'm not for this doctrine.  I dread to see the liberal version of this.  Besides, even among conservatives only, there is disagreement on what the "common good" is.

Originalism involves giving great weight to the Intent of the Framers, and that's the philosophy that provides the strongest foundation for the Rule of Law.  If people don't like what was framed, let them change it through the process.  The Framework was made difficult to change because the Framers knew what they were approving and foresaw things like this.
