Uh, slavery was allowed. Slaves were considered 3/5 of a human being. And women could not vote. Yes, the Constitution DOES change over time!

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 changes over time via amendments. The meaning does not change in any other fashion.

The Constitution didn't even recognize me as a human being when it was first ratified. So, no, I am not a Constitutional originalist.

She said exactly ‘law is law until lawfully changed’ and it is not her job to change it.

It is Amended through the Legislature, I just do not understand why you Democrat Politicians cannot figure out the idea that following the Constitution includes the Amendments. It is pretty simple, really!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Umm... Amendments? Heard of them?

Re: the 3/5 of a person. The ONLY reason that was implemented for seat apportionment in Congress was to prevent Southern slave states from being able to out-vote the Northern states. It was literally a move against slavery... Learn your history.
