“You’re quite right, and so am I, that it doesn’ matter what they intended”

Actually, I think what the Framers intended is absolutely, fundamentally critical. You say it doesn’t matter. Your view defines the Living Constitution approach. That puts you at loggerheads to conservatism and squarely in the liberal camp.
