@wdlindsy indeed, the idea of originalism is only embraced when it favors an already desired outcome, and yet can so easily be disregarded by those who claim to believe in it when it does not... Hypocrisy is the one true American value.

William Lindsey :toad: (wdlindsy@toad.social)'s status on Friday, 22-Dec-2023 02:23:20 JST William Lindsey :toad: Isn't it fascinating how all the Constitutional originalists are now turning on a dime, when Trump is held liable to the words of the Constitution as a traitor?
It's like they never believed what they were saying about fidelity to the words of the Constitution in the first place.
The Constitution could not be clearer about barring those who lead insurrections from office.
