    None of that means much of anything if the Supreme Court feels like saying otherwise.

        Thomas is the primary originalist here, let’s not paint them all with the same brush. If Congress would impeach him, we might have a decent(ish) Court. See my list of “liberal” opinions they’re rendered (above).

      SCOTUS can hardly be relied on to make conservative calls. Been collecting these for a couple of months.

        Scotus has always been conservative. Get out of here with this bullshit. You think a few liberal rulings sprinkled over the cake of conservatism means anything? History has already proven otherwise.
