To think. A bunch of people who despised the king sat down and created the presidency as an act of defiance to monarch rule. You want us to believe that they intended the president to have powers only a king possesses. Get the fuck out.

Careful, the "Original Intent" line of logic leads to Originalism and you could end up on SCOTUS!

The poor liberal judges on the court who have to show up to work knowing their contemporaries are corrupt sleaze bags.
There is nothing wrong with originalism as long as it is not selectively employed. If there is legislation that is behind the times it shouldn't be the court deciding how the law should be written.

The problem with a lot of originalist shit is that the people talking about it just selectively apply it where they want. The supreme court will happily apply common law right up until you point out judges in it being tried for corruption. Then suddenly their wars turn off and judicial immunity has just existed forever.

Originalism, at least, respects the idea of laws the government is not above.
