It would be so gratifying if trumpf was clapped in irons for his lawlessness and contempt, just like the Founding Fathers intended. #originalists

#Elections? What elections?
The storyline could look like this. They will prove some fraud, you know that. How so, #MissKitty? They picked up the boxes, didn't they?
So some rule that the #originalists will invent forward will give the Feds #state #election #oversight and total #recount #control.

Originalists? They burned Madison’s safeguard, twisted the Fourteenth, trampled the Tenth. Activist judges cloaked in black robes betrayed the Constitution they swore to protect. This hymn is protest.

#DearJustices:
You gave presidents broad immunity
Then he cuts with impunity.
Is he accountable for any decisions
He makes about recissions?
So the Senate’s power of appointment
Can be ignored for executive anointment?
Did #Originalists read Article One?
Or, is that section just for fun?

Trump‘s backed by 5 groups of fanatics (and cynical opportunists. OK, Venn diagrams abound).
You can guess which type #SupremeCourt #originalists are.
Know ‘em to overthrow ‘em.
Here’s my CN started pack.

🤬 BULLSHIT. When an #executiveorder is allowed to directly challenge the letter of the #Constitution which would be absolutely clear even to 💀 #Scalia #originalists then it IS DEVASTATING. The details which "mitigate" the damage are inconsequential to the grossness and perfidy of the whole. Steph

I am horrified. “Originalism,” the legal theory favored by many conservatives that seeks to interpret the Constitution based on its meaning when it was adopted is simply racism.

Kavanaugh, Amy, Coney Barrett and Gorsch may be #originalists, but they are not ideologues. #trump does NOT have #scotus in his pocket. His nominees are simply a group of lawyers that were swept of by a, although #racist in its origin, silly way to interpret modern law.

Nowhere in the text of the Constitution does it say that a president named donald CAN'T impeach & remove any judge he doesn't like.

If only the "founding fathers"used bribe instead of immoulements. Where are my constitutional literalists and #originalists now?!?

If we hold the truth of all men are created equally to be self evident, why are the rich and powerful so elevated in our society? Why do they seem to have so much more representation in our halls of power? We have strayed so far from our ideals while those who claim to be #originalists lead the way.

To attempt to divine, as #originalists do, a *single* original understanding for any of the Constitution's provisions is absurd. There isn't one, and it is hubris to pretend otherwise. The #Constitution can be what we make of it, and at least one of the #FoundingFathers told us so. (10/10)

Jefferson's statute inside the Jefferson Memorial, in front of a quote engraved on the wall.
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
One wall of the #JeffersonMemorial bears an inscription that I like a lot, for a couple reasons:
First, it amounts to Thomas Jefferson telling #originalists to grow up and put their big-boy pants on.
Second, it's a great object lesson in *why* originalism is both futile and self-defeating. (1/10)

Freedom of religion meant freedom of choice of Christian religion.
Freedom of speech meant anytime. Anywhere. Anyone says anything. Anything goes.
