And they understood how high the bar was to amend the


Constitution. They also created a judiciary to help interpret the Constitution in an evolving world.

Thomas Jefferson probably never would have expected the Constitution ratified in 1789 to endure for 230 years. Others among the founders believed in the judiciary as arbiter of how it applied in a changing world.

Which has basically been the model for the evolution of the greatest and most durable democracy in history. Hopefully, it will survive this latest assault led by the party of Mr. Originalist himself, Ted Cruz.

Where was his originalism on 1/6? Ceded authority to a little profiteering, I believe.
