Is she though?

Certainly not a proponent of a “living constitution” but I’ve always viewed her as more of a textualist than an originalist- at least as compared to someone like Thomas. She lives and dies by the idea that it’s Congress’s right and obligation to make the laws and if they do a shit job of it, it’s not her job to “fix” it.
