This is a profoundly stupid comment.
Originalists certainly respect the amendment process and the amendments that have followed.
Additionally, the Constitution DID NOT prevent women and minorities from voting. It simply did not address the issue until it was amended to insure suffrage for all citizens.
The Constitution includes its amendments. There is no originalist who fails to respect that fact.

I’m not sure who is the angriest critter in D.C., this moron Mazie Hirono or crazy Maxine Waters.

Perhaps Senator Hirono prefers the voting rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Until 1893, Hawaii had the “one man, one vote” rule, with the King being the one man with the one vote.

hirono is a typical leftist nitwit. Her knowledge is so limited and her thought-processes are so distorted that that always leaves no doubt of her functioning as a subhuman intellectually. What a Class A idiot. Dearest hawaiian voters: she reflects very poorly on your image as voters.

She hates the Constitution because it was designed to stand in the way of people in Government who want to strip rights from the people. So she attempts to de legitimize it.

Yes!, and the next two lines as well:

and drinking largely sobers us again.”

'You would not allow women and blacks to vote because that was not in the Constitution when it was ratified' Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii)

The lack of women's suffrage made so much sense due to ignorant bitches like YOU, Mazie.

Hirono “It’s the men in this country. And I just want to say to the men in this country: just shut up and step up, do the right thing for a change.”
-At the Kavanaugh hearing.

I will never forget the truths the Left revealed about themselves at the Kavanaugh hearing.
I won’t get a chance to forget because they are busy exhibiting those aspects again while trying to railroad our President.
The Left does not accept the “innocent until proven guilty”, “equal justice under the law” part of America because it stands in the way of their road to absolute power. Unfortunately that part is the bedrock of our Nation.

originalism means that you would interpret Constitution at the time of its enactment,

If a constitution can be interpreted with one's own personal subjectivity rather than using the meaning at the time of enactment as a standard of meaning, and if it can truly be changed at the decree of a judge, then the Constitution is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please, Hence, the purpose of the constitution would be defeated, and there would be no reason to have one.

They're attacking him because he's a Federalist Society member.

VanDyke was born on December 12, 1972 in Midland, Texas. The following year, his family moved to Bozeman, Montana. VanDyke earned his Bachelor of Science, with highest honors, from Montana State University in 1997 and a Master of Arts in 2000. He received his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating from law school, VanDyke served as a law clerk to Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. He then worked in private practice at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

From 2012–2013, he was an Assistant Solicitor General of Texas. He served as Solicitor General of Montana from 2013–2014, when he resigned to unsuccessfully run for the Montana Supreme Court. He became Solicitor General of Nevada under Attorney General Adam Laxalt in 2015, where he served until 2019. In 2019, VanDyke became a deputy Assistant Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division, where he currently works.
