No -- my position isn't an originalist one but rather a call for terminological clarity: use classical liberalism for historical stuff & invent new name for modern cherry-picked versions.

I do think most so called constitutional rights (including ones created by "originalists") are post-facto inventions. I don't have a problem with that.
