But perhaps I am wrong about them. Perhaps conservatives simply promote an inert theory of constitutional interpretation because they genuinely believe that legislatures—the “people’s” body—is the appropriate place to enshrine “new” fundamental rights. Perhaps conservatives are not desperately committing to upholding white male supremacy and patriarchy, they just honestly believe that the only legitimate way to move beyond our white male supremacist roots is through additional amendments recognizing our evolution as a society, as opposed to interpreting old ones with modern sensibilities.
