The words of the Constitution were what the lawmakers used to express their will at the time they made the documents. Therefore, the object and goal of Constitutional Interpretation should be the will of the lawmakers, not some unknowable "general understanding" that scum bags like Scalia use as an excuse to inject their personal views into the Constitution.

I find it appalling that Justice Antonin Scala, in his dissenting opinion in McCreary County v. ACLU, constructed his model of "the relationship between church and state" in America without even considering the actual text of the Constitution. How do incompetents like him get on the U. S. Supreme Court?
