The Constitution, when it comes before a court, should mean exactly what it was intended to mean when it was adopted, nothing more, nothing less.
. . . gosh, that would be a hard thing to figure out sometimes, wouldn't it? Trying to ascertain exactly how framers who lived centuries ago would have intended to resolve 21st century legal problems--that is a toughie. And yet, I strongly suspect (and possibly you do too) that, after much study, research and contemplation, Scalia will find, by some absolutely amazing coincidence, that the framers of the Constitution would have agreed with him in every detail.
