In the letter you shared, Jefferson has thoroughly debunked "originalism", the legal theory that the supreme court must adhere to the original thinking and writing of the authors of the constitution. Katy, I think you should send a copy of Jefferson's letter to all the members of the Supreme Court or at least the"originalists" currently serving!
Thanks for the great idea. If the originalists in DC don’t read things on paper, they can go over to the Jefferson memorial, just a few blocks from their workplace. The quote I included in the letter is engraved into the marble that surrounds the giant statue of Thomas Jefferson.
