I keep coming back to the fact that these people make such a big deal about calling themselves originalists and the framers could not possibly have been more clear on this specific issue
I know the hypocrisy is the point, but still
I assume it's like most things where "originalists" were at one point a niche philosophy of legal scholar who tried to adhere as close as possible to the intention of the original texts by the founding fathers, and then a bunch of libertarians got poured into it and cooked guys like Gorsuch.
