I will continue to wonder how anyone can be against "original" intent. The contract was written and has legal ways to be amended. Regarding the Federalist Society being anti-democratic--from the standpoint that the Constituition, particularly the Bill of Rights, was written not only to ensure the rights of the majority, ie. democracy, but also to defend the rights of the minority, the Constituition is supposed to be anti-democratic as in it should not be subject to arbitrary changes whether through autocratic statements from the justices or from pressure of groups on the justices which are in flagrant disregard of the Consituition. The Founders had a pretty good idea of human nature and although it is two hundred years+later, things have not changed as much as one might think.
