No. Your mistake is in thinking you can be an originalist while ignoring the original principles and all of the original stated purposes of the Constitution and the republic.

I understood them to create a republic, with a national government of limited and enumerated powers and all unenumerated powers reserved to the States, having decided that this was the best way to attain their stated objectives.

Do you submit that the did something different?

Like most folks in your camp, you apparently don't have the ability to discern the difference between legitimate powers and illegitimate powers, or between powers and rights.

You ignore the most important moral natural law principles that comprise the cornerstone of our republic and our claim to liberty.

And you choose to consistently ignore the sacred duties that of necessity go along with all powers and rights.
