      Actually, it really might in this case.

      A number of the justices currently sitting on the supreme court are (or claim to be) originalists.

      Meaning, the original intent of the writers is the correct interpretation. Evidence showing what that original intent was can be very useful with judges like that.

        Does that “strict originalist” view extend to the “well regulated militia” part of the 2nd ammendment?
