continue to be surprised? I have not been surprised by this court whatsoever

  Yes, it's quite simple. Whatever ruling helps the powerful is the one they make. It's incredibly blatant regardless of recent (post 1980s) manufactured from whole cloth "originalism", which is in sharp contrast with the actual views of the founders who expected the constitution to be rapidly and frequently amended to account for new factors.

    > the founders who expected the constitution to be rapidly and frequently amended Do you have any evidence to support this claim? The Constitution spells out that any amendment requires first an agreement of 2/3s of both houses of Congress and then ratification by 3/4 of the states. Even back when there were 13 states I'm having trouble imagining them setting it up like that if they were targeting rapid and frequent iteration. If that was their intention they obviously did a very bad job setting it up for that.
