Then how does Original Intent work with SCOTUS opinions, Mr Rogers?

Do the Justices use modern law to decide Constitutional issues, or do they cite the writing and laws the Framers had at the time when they penned the Constitution?

I think you’re confused on this ... and as a Conservative that you claim to be, it’s a fatal flaw you possess.

“Then how does Original Intent work with SCOTUS opinions, Mr Rogers?”

It is called common law, and the common law term “natural born subject” that reveals what the original intent was - not a phrase found in a poorly translated philosophy book AFTER the Constitution was written.

Nor do YOU get to define it YOUR way. Not without evidence, which you do not have.
