      Remember when these guys pretended to believe in a strict & narrow view of constitutional intent? And a lot of centrist and even many liberals believed it?https://twitter.com/WSJopinion/status/1187356909302628353 …

      I'm curious that the main aim here is to attack "centrists" and liberals. I've been doing this for a while and liberals in the American political context have really *never* credited conservative conceits abt originalism or judicial restraint. That's just not so.

      I'm pretty sure that I have read liberals praising the sincerity of Bork, Scalia and even Kavanaugh. There was a cluster of op-eds from liberal law professors during their nominations. One example of many:https://www.npr.org/2018/09/09/646018064/a-liberal-law-professor-on-his-endorsement-of-kavanaugh …

      I mean, "many people say" basically. But yes, those examples are there. But they're almost entirely people from the prestige law prof world who have various interests in buying that. Political people? Political legal people? Virtually none. But again, I simply note the focus.

      Unfortunately prestige law prof world has a big role in legitimizing courts. In liberal legal scholarship world it's considered bad taste to argue originalism is post facto b.s. designed to advance right wing agenda.
