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."

They’re called AMENDMENTS Marianne.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That should make her ineligible for Supreme Court nomination as women weren’t part of the discussion at the time it was ratified. If that is how she really feels.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Amy should stay at home and watch the kids. She is beyond not qualified for the job. This is fucking ludicrous.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Marianne maybe you need that mansplained to you. The law, the constitution, of course, can and does change by amendment. But the meaning of the words in the Constitution and in the amendments do not change afterwards, after the fact.
