Amy Coney Barrett on originalism: "That means that I interpret the Constitution as a law... I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. That meaning doesn't change over time and it's not up to me to update it or infuse my policy views into it."

The Constitution can be Amended, but it doesn’t magically “change”. The Constitution was Amended to abolish slavery, it wasn’t done via the Courts it was done via the people, as the founders intended.
