Originalism is a fraud and a farce. Scalia always maintained the pretense of being a humble lawyer but in truth was a far right judicial activist. He claimed to simply interpret the texts he was given, which conveniently always led to decisions favorable toward (and hostile to laws enacted against) modern conservative policy positions. The plain text of the constitution may say nothing about gay rights, abortion, personal ownership of firearms or corporate money as an analogue of free speech, but to originalists these central concerns of the modern conservative movement were explicitly addressed by the Founders. Gorsuch is probably to the right of Scalia. Once Trump has a few more appointments America will truly have the Supreme Court it deserves, by the corporations, for the profit and against the people.
