  2. The Séance Court: Original Intent and the Fraud of Speaking for the Dead

    Nine lawyers in black robes sit in a marble temple in Washington and commune with the dead. They ask James Madison, silent since 1836, how he feels about bump stocks. They ask a Virginia planter to rule on geofence warrants and a Boston merchant to weigh encrypted messaging, and they transcribe the answers with straight faces into the United States Reports. Every other corner of American life has a name for this ritual. When a widow pays for it in a candlelit parlor, we call it a séance and we call the medium a fraud. When five justices perform it in October Term, we call it originalism, and law schools award tenure for defending the candles. […]

  17. 1775 vs. 2025: The Epstein List and the Founders

    This video was recorded 6 months ago...and it is even more evidently pertinent today:
    The founding fathers, since mythologized and canonized, made up the Epstein List of their times.

  21. That is where #state lawmakers come in, Professor Amar said.

    “Sometimes the #federal government will misbehave,” he said, “& you can’t count on #Congress always to rein the federal government in.”

    His article drew on 2 principles often associated with #conservatives: #federalism & #originalism.

    “This is exactly what the framers imagined: state law protecting us against federal abuses,” Professor Amar said.

  26. Anthony Kennedy, a retired Supreme Court Justice, did not comment on specific cases decided after he left the court, but he criticized the Supreme Court overuse of the #ShadowDocket which lets the court issue decisions without explaining why they reached those decisions. He also criticized #originalism as a basis for reaching decisions:

  30. “Caleb Nelson, one of the most respected originalist scholars in the country, comes out against the unitary executive interpretation” of the #Constitution.”

    Professor Nelson is a former #ClarenceThomas law clerk and is often cited in opinions by the six conservative members of #SCOTUS. According to Nelson, reversing the landmark case #HumphreysExecutor would be an originalism mistake.

    "...that expanded gun rights by finding the Second Amendment generally gives people the right to carry firearms."

    Amazing how the #SCOTUS continues to erase the predicate clause of the #SecondAmendment

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."

    How many of these people are members of any "well regulated #Militia"?

    Remember #Originalism and #Textualism and #OriginalIntent all that?

    Utterly meaningless when it gets in the way of #MAGA #AmmoSexuals and their auto-erotic gun fantasies
