Justice Scalia makes it clear in Heller that the Constitution is to be interpreted in terms of the meaning of the words as used in common parlance at the time the particular provision was adopted. I'd have to reread the decision, but I don't think the dissenters fought him too hard on this. Unfortunately, this won't stop the meaningless inquiries into "the founders' intent" or "the living Constitution."
The scariest part is Heller was decided by one vote...by an unelected judge.
