    How is any side wrong in how to interpret the Constitution? It's a pretty fluid and vague document.

    Originalism vs living, they can't both be right.

    Why not? Why can't we accept a degree of validity from both and simply pick from either side what is most prudent at the time?

    You aren't arguing for both you're arguing for living.

    edit: which means I contradicted myself...your way of doing things would allow for being partisan, unlike strict originalism would would require the judge to stick to his method even if he didn't like the results politically.
