I mostly agree

but I am convinced that (public meaning) Orginalism is the proper methodology of legal interpretation, so I am somewhat disheartened that SCOTUS is losing credibility precisely as that doctrine prevails

While I would welome a return to Jeffersonian republicanism, my concern is not limited to SCOTUS attempts at restoration so much as the knowledge that we will have to live with (or at least somewhat near) these people (US Brahmin) after the current regime collapses

If we have to make a treaty with them (for example) it is disturbing to think they would regard it as a "living" document, subject to radical reinterpretation
