If you can basically interpret the constitution any way you want, then there is no point to even having the constitution in the first place.

Therefore, it only makes logical sense to have a strict interpretation.

When you realize that liberals hate the Constitution, it actually makes perfect sense.

Leftists arrive at their decision first, then cherry pick and twist the law to confirmation bias their decision

I think this should be the baseline stance; however, I don't think it's that easy when you consider the changes that don't easily fit into a rigid view from 200+ years ago (e.g., technology).

There has to be some flexibility around that baseline, practically speaking.

It always cracks me up when they talk about the conservative justices being strict constitutionalists or originalists. Uhh, so you mean they're doing their fricking job?
