"Just to be clear, "originalist" doesn't mean, prior to any of the amendments. But again, I emphasize that even with the 14th and other amendments, there's no constitutional justification for Roe vs Wade."

I will say this one last time. I am opposed to Roe v. Wade, and any originalist Court would abolish it immediately. You apparently perfer not to hear this, which makes it pointless for me to address you.

"Originalist" applies equally to the original document and the ammendments. Both must be interpreted as the writers originally intended.

Whoa, easy there, dude! I wasn't criticizing you. I was just making sure we both had the same understanding of the word "originalist", that's all, because the author of the article seemed to be ignoring subsequent amendments. Now that we do have the same understanding of the word, everything's cool.

Believe me, I agree with you on everything you said here, and I wasn't doubting your sincerity at all.
