Originalism is Fake News

This fails as a kill the messenger fallacy.

Originalism is a false, bad-faith rightwing partisan contrivance.

As Justice Kennedy explained in Lawrence:

“Had those who drew and ratified the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth Amendment or the Fourteenth Amendment known the components of liberty in its manifold possibilities, they might have been more specific. They did not presume to have this insight. They knew times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress. As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom.”
He opines. There is no debate. Originalism exists (and existed). Not liking the results is another matter.
 
The thread is not about your motherfucking racist opinion about anything black. It is about originalism.
You actually think I would pay attention to YOU! Lord love a duck, you are a worthless skin bag. Now go seethe in a corner someplace.
