      Remember when a lot of people got their underwear tied up in knots over a magazine article raising the possibility that there could be another founding than 1776. https://twitter.com/AlisonSomin/status/1316424344189448192 …

      Speaking of original intent, it would be curious to hear Abraham Lincoln on this. See Gettysburg address. https://twitter.com/AlisonSomin/status/1316424344189448192 …

          I don’t understand why she can’t comment on Griswald. Her description of it as very “very very very” unlikely to be challenged before the court is her definition of ‘super precedent’ from yesterday, which she did talk about.

          It’s laughable to imagine that a person living today can create a 250 some odd year old avatar in their mind and see how that avatar would understand 230 year old words applied to a modern situation. Fake conservatives made up this idea so they could overrule precedent.

          One of the peculiarities of "originalism" is how they factor-in, or don't, that little incident between 1861-65 called "The Civil War" and the theory of union promulgated by the guy who won that war, in that very same Gettysburg Address you mention. It's not "law" either, but...

          Perhaps someone should ask for her take on gravity? Thing or not a thing?
