    And that's a bad thing, but if you reject originalism, you lack the language in which to criticize it.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1316024873269903361 …

    The original intent of the Reconstruction Amendments was effectively ignored, and sometimes overturned, by the courts almost from the get-go. https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1316024366975524867 …

        Literally every originalist believes that the Amendments to the Constitution - such as the Reconstruction Amendments - should be read as they were understood when ratified. This is not remotely controversial. Eg, our debate on birthright citizenship:https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/constitutional-originalism-requires-birthright-citizenship/ …

        Originalism is a lie that uses the cover of a feigned objectivity to put your own biases in the mouths of long dead founding fathers who would likely not interpret the words they wrote in a contextless vacuum.

        Let us vote crank. Everthing you say, no matter how remittently thoughtful or sharp, is undermined by your full throated endorsement of a movement based on limiting the vote. Let us vote.

        @HeerJeet non-originalists also use originalism. They just don't use it exclusively or primarily.

        Once again the critics of originalism refer to "original intent" originalism as opposed to "original public meaning" originalism which is what Barret, Scalia and Thomas adhere to.

        No. If you accept originalism you lack the resources to criticize it since Plessy was almost certainly right under an originalist theory.
