Strict originalism is giving us our constitution back. Specifically our gun rights, see heller v District of Columbia and McDonald v Chicago

Heller vs DC was quite a controversial ruling. Everyone can agree that the 2nd amendment protects hunting weapons, but that ruling declared it ALSO protects weapons for personal defense.

Very controversial indeed.

Maybe it was Washington. Shrug.

Here is modern depiction of it:

Justice Scalia: The constitution is 'dead, dead, dead'

What a thing for a fucking judge to say.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia emphatically rebutted the notion that the Constitution is a living document

We live in a world where they blatantly, openly murdered Scalia, and suffered no ill consequences.

That is the world we live in.
