It begs the question...just kidding, I know how much you love that! Back to the point, in my opinion originalism in all its forms is best stifling and at worst contrary to our country's core priniciples (which I am not-so-cleverly leaving unidentified). I agree with Scalia about as often as I agree with my sister, but he is a bright fellow. Certainly bright enough to rely on 21st century textualism or, failing that, sound structural arguments. The American legal tradition is well-equipped to handle the invention of the wheel without resorting to the "we must avoid the standardless abyss" argument of which originalists are so found.
