    I have never assumed that just because the Court says something, that's the Constitution. It matters very, very much whether that something was actually written down in the Constitution & ratified by the people. Why originalism matters so much. Otherwise, it's just 9 voters.https://twitter.com/rachelshelden/status/1312817373724975105 …

    Conflating the Supreme Court with the Constitution is just one of the ways conservatives undermine democracy. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1312808093697351681 …

        The last time that SCOTUS had a radical conservative majority, they invented a constitutional "right of contact" because they thought steel workers had the "right" to be unprotected from falls into molten metal.

        When did we ever have a “radical conservative” majority?

        Also important to note that one of the many thing that the Constitution was seeking to "check and balance" was democracy's excesses. Popular does not necessarily equal good.

        Well, 9 votes until the people, through the legislature & presidency, that said 9 votes need an update 😁

        Wait. Aren't most office holders and legislators sworn in to defend and uphold the constitution of the United States? Am I mistaken?

        This is a deeply Christian understanding: if our foundational text means only what Authority X says it does, then the text itself is without meaning and we are adrift in the world, without any sure reference point. https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300102673/interpreting-bible-and-constitution …

        It is corrosive in other ways as well. Imagine contract law without any concern as to whether there was a meeting of minds, or what that consensus was! That’s a sure recipe for nihilism.

        I see, @baseballcrank. You are saying that the second amendment doesn't count because it wasn't part of the original document. Interesting. cc: @rachelsheldenhttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1312818931447615495 …
