No, it was Supreme Court justices who ruled on Roe v. Wade, not "shyster lawyers." Lawyers, shyster or otherwise, don't get to rule on anything. Only judges or justices can do that. And please don't tell me what I can and can't see. You don't have a clue. ---In

It's almost prohibitively difficult, actually; it was designed to be. And it can take years. Those who are not originalists (don't know the term for them) don't necessarily interpret the original wording in a way that is "clearly at odds with the obvious reading." It's much more complicated

Okay, take one example. Gay marriage. Strictly interpreted constitution-wise, ala Originalism, the verdict would be "no". But allowing for changing attitudes, with a slightly more liberal interpretation, the answer would be "yes" Issues seem easier to resolve in theory than in practice.
