When the Constitution was written, Tesla cars didn’t exist. The best automatic rifles were muskets. The moon was something to gaze at and not upon which to walk. Cell phones were Paul Revere on horseback or drums and smoke. Air travel was by ballon. People like Judge Alito, however, existed. But women could not vote, own property, and, if raped, died trying to terminate the pregnancy.
Sometimes progress works.
