I used the word “Framers” because the author did. Normally I won’t use that word. I’ll watch it from now on though. Thanks for pointing this out.
And your larger point is important to note. Society was very different in 1787. Society continues to change, and the best way to deal with changes and the laws is to amend the constitution and change our laws through legislation. Certain people simply want courts to re-interpret the language in the constitution to mean whatever they want it to mean.
