Is your position basically that no entity has the authority to interpret the Constitution with any more import than you, me or pickle?
This discussion seems simple to me:
Group A:
The constitution is as written and all of the subsequent rulings, interpretations, case law references, etc. are meaningless - each man has the ability to interpret "what is constitutional"
Group B:
The US, right or wrong, exists upon a framework of laws (including of course the constitution and it's specific authority assignments) and the entities in that framework have decided to interpret the constitution and set for the various clarifications, etc. and those are what we follow.
Group A and B will never, ever, ever, ever agree on "what is constitutional" because you disagree on whom has the authority to decide so.
Why bother?
We aren't ever going back to an originalist state, ummmm.
Ever.
