Oh that's right, such things hadn't been invented in 1789 when we ratified the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Nor did we have vaccinations, modern medicines, modern contraception, artificial hearts and kidneys, or combustion engine automobiles. I could go on - but you get it, we all do.
The Constitution is never going to be the final ruling for the way we live now, with the options we have available to us now. SCOTUS has gone off the deep end on "originalism" and it is affecting the judicial benches all the way down the line. Certain groups are using "originalism" because it bends the rules in their favor on certain subjects. Whenever it doesn't favor their side, originalism goes out the window.
