Pure idiocy. Originalists believe that the Constitution should be changed only according to the rules that were established for changing the Constitution. “Non-originalists” believe that unelected judges should be able to change the Constitution whenever they see fit.
That's it in a nutshell.
An issue often overlooked is that there are less practicing, sincere, Judeo-Chirstians. Here is what some of our founding father had to say:
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
" Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society." George Washington
"[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin
"The moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." Noah Webster
"Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof." Continental Congress 1778
"Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. . . . Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other." James Wilson (signer of the Constitution and U.S. Supreme Court Justice)
We are less religious as a country resulting in the call for the "changing" of the Constitution.
Without intending to do so, Browstein argues for an Article V COS.
You hit the nail on the head.
