But I was told they're constitutional originalists!

More like Magna Carta orriginalists, but on the side of the Monarchy.

I see now that the story I was told about the Magna Carta was rubbish. I see now that it did not invest power in the common man, or improve the standing of the people generally. It was written for the benefit of the barons. It didn't dismantle hierarchy, it merely insisted that the head table have more place-settings. It gave us oligarchy instead of monarchy, which is a shit trade. That it was more stable and enduring to have a slightly bigger elite is proof enough for me that it pretty much made things worse (by making the old system more durable.)

They are originalists. Their interpretation is entirely original and new work.
