    The fact that huge amounts of social science is either non-replicable or later debunked is a powerful argument against ever using it to forge permanent Constitutional law.https://twitter.com/presjpolk/status/1172531390778347523 …

    I'm old enough to remember when the left insisted that *courts* should take as gospel the same social science factoids in the form of a Brandeis Brief.

        At a minimum, letting it come in through an Amicus brief and not litigated by the parties is a disaster. @JoshMBlackman has been arguing this for a while.

        Yes, we should always construct law and policy based primarily, or even solely, on personal experience & anecdotal evidence.

        The original Constitution is based on social science.

        We should burn every document from that era since literally everyone at the time were so dumb.
