You are trying to refocus the "originalism" argument on one of your pet peeves. I am pointing out that the problem goes way beyond the 14th amendment.
It is a departure from "originalism" that caused the 14th amendment in the first place.
Should we be surprised that this bastard child led a no good life afterward?
Originalism as a word is short for the phrase "original intent of the authors"
The authors of the 14th amendment did not discuss gay marriage in the 1865 debates. Nor any of the other Christmas Tree items you and I commonly swap back and forth, they're all basically interchangeable.
I refocus nothing. Learn your words.
They didn't discuss gay marriage.
I have no idea why this statement causes you so much fear, but there it is.
They didn't discuss gay marriage.
