No, that's textualism. Originalism is trying to divine what that disparate group of folks thought way back when and then trying to determine what they would think of this current issue that is well outside of what they could have possibly been thinking about at the time.

Isn't a justice's job to interpret laws as they've been written? Doesn't every single SCOTUS case deal with some form or written law?

Lol. Originalism just means certain old dead guys matter more. There is after all this thing called historiography. Ole Dan here just prefers to pretend there is only one true way.

Originalism is a scam where conservative judges gaze into a crystal ball and discern what a wealthy white man in the late 18th century would think about the internet, gender fluidity, or AR-15s.

Yeah is originalism is a myth the right tells itself so that they can have activist judges make laws that help keep them in power. The same way white slave holders who thought black people were 3/5ths of a human intended.
