My argument is we all of necessity pick and choose from these traditions. So let's not pretend we are identical to them.

Maybe, but that's incidental to my point, which is that "how do you decide what the underlying principles are? You're just making stuff up" is more or less Scalia's answer to Breyer et. al. in Original Meanings.

But the difference between me & Scalia is he thinks there is original meaning we can return to. I don't. Because we live in present, we necessarily pick & choose from tradition, rather than simply continue it.
