The Debate Over Constitutional Originalism Just Got Ugly

Are most members of the Supreme Court violating their oath of office?

Might Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan be committing impeachable offenses?

Did some of history’s most celebrated justices — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Robert Jackson, Earl Warren, Thurgood Marshall, William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O’Connor — also act inconsistently with their oath of office?

  1. That article is bullshit. The author thinks more highly of himself when he should not. The only worth of the article is perhaps it is a harbinger of what is to come; that the argument against Originalism is soon to be dredged up again. But there is nothing new presented in this article.

  2. The Framers wrote a series of pamphlets and whole BOOKS on the interpretation of various rights, clauses and phrases meant when the Constitution was written. In addition, there are various other written documents, among them personal letters of the framers and various other people present at the Continental Congress where the Constitution was debated that, I believe, were meant to guide FUTURE lawmakers and judges, as well as those same type people back in the days when the Constitution went into effect after ratification.

  5. Virtually every judge ever to infest the bench has tossed their oath to the Constitution in favor of their personal agendas and beliefs almost the moment they done their robes.

  6. The judiciary is as corrupt as congress-just ask General Flynn.

    Justice Scalia searched and searched for a dictionary from the time the Constitution was written; the closest he could find was published in 1802. Contrast his methodology to that of the "living constitution" bullshit the liberals push because they are too fucking lazy to understand the real meaning of things and would rather make stuff up.

    BTW, Scalia did not "die in his sleep". Epstein told me so.

  7. The Supreme Courts powers are largely self-granted, anyway. Starting with Marbury v. Madison, they decided what they have the "duty" to do.
