The Founding Fathers would likely have differing opinions on the topic. Jefferson, for instance, would feel the Supreme Court is abusing its power; he even felt judicial review overstepped Constitutional limits. Others, however, such as Hamilton and Madison, were (and would probably be) more open to the decisions the Supreme Court has made.

Which Founding Fathers were libertarians?
The founding fathers all had a conception of the role of government that was vastly more limited than what we accept today. If they were to come back to us they would undoubtedly be in favor of eliminating 90% or more of the functions of all levels of modern government. In that way they were very libertarian. In other ways though their attitudes were not so similar to that of modern libertarians. Most of them would have felt that local communities had every right, and indeed responsibility, to enforce moral and virtuous behavior. Most of them also felt that people had the right to form communities that held similar or common religious beliefs. The federal government was bound by the first amendment but several of the states had established churches. The founders would have had no trouble at all with obscenity laws and never would have though that freedom of speech applied to anything other than speech.
How is evolutionist thinking used in interpreting the constitution?
There is no connection whatsoever between Biological Evolution and the interpretation of legal documents like the US Constitution.As stated above the US Constitution itself specifies who will be allowed to interpret it: the Supreme Court. No other entity has the legal right to interpret the US Constitution. Not scientists, not congress, not the president, not average citizens, not special interest groups, etc.; only the Supreme Court.The Supreme Court is only allowed to interpret the US Constitution using information from case law, legal precedences, the writings of the Founding Fathers on their intentions in writing the US Constitution, and other relevant legal documents in their decisions. The Supreme Court is not allowed to use personal opinions, scientific information, public poll results, evidence from the cases they are evaluating (the Supreme Court is an Appeals Court not a Trial Court and thus is not permitted to examine evidence in the case, only if procedural errors were committed or violations of the US Constitution occurred in the case), etc. in their decisions.
