    No, it just means that written law matters. If you don't want originalism, you don't want democracy; you just want unelected judges to make the laws without regard to what the people's representatives wrote down.https://twitter.com/umairh/status/1316097533270265856 …

    “Originalism” is a profoundly anti democratic and anti civilized stance, it means that old dead guys count more than all the living people to come forever, that ideas never evolve, it’s so stupid the entire rest of the developed world has no point of comparison whatsoever

        No, that's textualism. Originalism is trying to divine what that disparate group of folks thought way back when and then trying to determine what they would think of this current issue that is well outside of what they could have possibly been thinking about at the time.

        Isn't a justice's job to interpret laws as they've been written? Doesn't every single SCOTUS case deal with some form or written law?

        Lol. Originalism just means certain old dead guys matter more. There is after all this thing called historiography. Ole Dan here just prefers to pretend there is only one true way.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Originalism is a scam where conservative judges gaze into a crystal ball and discern what a wealthy white man in the late 18th century would think about the internet, gender fluidity, or AR-15s.

        Yeah is originalism is a myth the right tells itself so that they can have activist judges make laws that help keep them in power. The same way white slave holders who thought black people were 3/5ths of a human intended.
