Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.

Exactly. This thread is merely proof that Crush T Velour and those agreeing with him or her are not originalists. Of course those who do not care about the original intent of the Constitution can claim that this case was meant to redefine Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution even though it had nothing to do with the issue before the Court.
