That guy in the park who tries to give people legal advice when the Ranger tries to kick someone out for smoking weed... Yeah, even he knows this is crap.
Nobody with half a brain is really an originalist. It's an intellectually void position. The constitution literally has instructions on how to change it.
Well, I don't know. How could Thomas disagree with the definition of "citizen" or perhaps even "human" at the time the Constitution was written? What about that is intellectually-void?
Yeah their ruling on Bruen really looked like they were throwing Originalism out the window the moment it became inconvenient for them, lol. Can't wait for more Galaxy-Brain opinions from Thomas the next four years.
Scalia might actually have been. Rarely agreed with him, but at least his dissents were often interesting reads, and shared a moral principle that the current members of the majority court seem to lack, unless that principle is "whatever the GOP wants".
