I don't disagree that originalism is stupid as hell, but I do believe that Thomas earnestly believes in his flavor of originalism, while I believe the others understand it's a fig leaf for being a supervillian.

Ogmius815 posted:When you meet an “originalist” ask him (it’s almost definitely “him”) if Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided. He’ll say yes (if he says no you can just laugh and point and walk away). Then ask how that decision can be squared with the “original public meaning” of the fourteenth amendment given that the very congress that voted for that amendment was itself in charge of a segregated school system in the District of Columbia. Great point, but the mistake here is thinking that that originalists are consistent, or that they'll be intelligent enough to get tripped up by a clear own on their ideals.

Murgos posted:It’s not a result that the court can grant though. The constitution gives the executive branch the power to see that the nations laws are upheld. Literally they just ruled that a constitutional right of privacy doesn't exist because of 16th century dudes existing, and that undercuts like half the bill of rights. The mask is off plausible doesn't really matter.

Alito is the least surprising dissent on there, even beyond Thomas.

OddObserver posted:No, the math just says that at least one justice handles more than one Circuit; that each justice covers at least one is a matter of not being silly with assignments. Seems like we should increase the court to 13, so as to be sure we're not overworking our poor justices.

Vahakyla posted:IANAL but Roberts' argument isn't that much of a pants-on-head. He's right about the fact that "why?". He doesn't answer to the congress, so being summoned by them is weird. Any citizen can be summoned by congress I assume. He's just making it clear he's above that.

The court declined to see a case where a BLM organizer was held responsible for the injuries on a police officer because they organized a protest. How does this remotely make sense?
