Conservatives care about one thing, and one thing only: ceding power to in groups and stripping power from out groups. Small government for me, big government for thee. “Originalism” is a method for armoring existing and historical power structures, and “conservatism” is the weapon which can be selectively deployed against anything that undermines or weakens those power structures.
