A lot of liberals have been getting an education over the past couple of weeks. First was the concealed carry decision in New York State, and then the overturning of Roe v. Wade — the difference being that the right to bear a firearm is enumerated in the Constitution, while the right to an abortion is not. The problem is that originalists have taken over the Supreme Court, and Yale law professor Scott Shapiro notes how amazing it is that originalism tracks so closely with the policies of the Republican Party.
Amazing how Originalism tracks the political positions of the Republican Party

It’s not really amazing … Republicans tend to take the Constitution seriously and don’t see it as a “living document.”
Imagine being a law professor and thinking this was an insightful comment. https://t.co/7ANiy6UmxS

"It's so weird that originalist decisions are lauded by people who believe in originalism."
Holy shit, my dude. You cracked this wide open.

Professors have probably debased themselves more on this site than anyone else.

Wait till he hears about conservatism.

Not sure he's making the point he thinks he's making.

Wait until he learns liberal judicial philosophy makes zero pretense about just divining decisions that align with what they think the law ought to be.

The law the professor will never break is the one that says liberals never let their ignorance get in the way of their arrogance.

The ignorance is intentional

It's almost like the Republican party is built around an originalist view of the Constitution…weird
— Grant Lee (@GrantBVLee) June 28, 2022
Its almost as if "conservatism" has a definition.
— Brian 'Rage-Twerking at Leftists' (@ChooseFreewill3) June 28, 2022
Yes, it is the political stance of Republicans to want to conserve the original values of the republic.
Amazing insight you've stumbled upon.

Wait you mean the Constitution of the United States closely tracks the positions of the Republican Party? And not the priorities of a Democratic Party built around transgendering the children and abortion on demand? https://t.co/ubSaZyW0TX

Do you have a paper on this or are you just screaming for attention?
— Cb (@chuckbesh) June 27, 2022
That study that everyone keeps citing about “white supremacy culture” posits that “worship of the written word” is a characteristic of white supremacy culture, so interpreting the Constitution as it was written is “whiteness.”
