RE: Her decision to allow shutdowns doesn’t strike me as originalist since you’d have to convince me that the authors of the constitution intended on a federal government ever having that kind of power.

I believe that decision was a STATE issue. I don’t think there ever was a a Trump national lockdown at all. Heck , decisions to reopen are a state by state issue as well.

Not only was it a state issue, the lockdowns themselves weren’t the issue in question at all. The case was about whether the governor was permitted to allow larger religious gatherings than secular ones, and the court’s ruling was that religious gatherings are specifically protected and were allowed to be given more leeway.
