Mick Jagger
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.

What gives the force of law to the Constitution? The fact that it was written, or that it was ratified by We the People?
The writers and whatever their multitude of intentions were have NO legal relevance, what gives the Constitution effect is the will of the people, ergo what THEY generally understood it to mean.
You have proven yourself to be completely ignorant of anything and everything to do with legal history. Your derogatory and childish reference to a man far more educated than yourself as a "scumbag" shall mark the end of any further responses to your stupidity until you start presenting substantive references that you believe support your position. The reason you resorted to such sophistry is because you cannot do so.
