      Seems like an excellent argument for why Congress should have taken care to write a statute on the subject that didn't violate the Constitution.https://twitter.com/HowardMortman/status/1315644247006158849 …

      2. It never ceases to amaze me how Democrats during these hearings will talk about anything & everything but the actual job of judges, which is deciding what written law means.

      3. And yet, without judges faithful to text, the job of legislators is meaningless. Why have a job writing laws for a living if you don't expect judges to take what you wrote seriously?

          Better yet, why do they write laws so poorly as to avoid political blowback specifically to have judges be the bad guys and clarify their legislation? That's what they want. It's not what the job is, though.

          So I take it you’d support reconsideration of Heller, based on evidence from corpus linguistics (a methodology supported by, e.g., originalist gun-rights supporter @RandyEBarnett) showing that the Court was wrong about the 2nd Amendment’s original meaning.https://lawnlinguistics.com/corpora-and-the-second-amendment/ …

          Maybe the problem is that our legislators and judges are often the same people. More than half of Congress are lawyers. So is Pence. And Biden. And Harris.

          You might be confusing "law" text with Constitution text, but the latter is transcended anyway because of 9A.

          Very excited to read your advocation for the new conservative SCOTUS to nullify actual legislation passed and signed in the next four years.
