Luckily Scalia isn't the only originalist to have ever existed.

Yes, but I think his reasons for minimizing the importance of so-called "legislative history", particularly when interpreting the Constitution, are completely valid.

Still. Americans did once upon a time know what these phrases meant. Progressives indoctrinate because indoctrination affirmatively works.

"Not knowing" is more of a new-ish phenomena.
