I don't want to pretend like judicial law is just a dichotomy between originalism and living constitution, but I at least understand how people who believe in a living constitution are able to justify some of their more "partisan" positions.

But I don't understand how die hard originalists like Scalia, Gorsuch, etc. can justify some of their decisions under that framework. It seems to be that the "intent of the founders" on very specific modern day issues seems to align very closely to standard conservative political beliefs for some reason.
