“Original intent” is one of the last things a Court considers. Have argued it a number of times and it is almost a judicial axiom to say that ... judges do NOT care.
I was at a hearing on a motion one time and one of the attorneys arguing was a state rep who had drafted the statute. The attorney tried telling the judge about his intent. The judge cut him off and said “I don’t care what you intended, I’m going to go by what the statute actually says.” I haven’t argued legislative intent since.
