The purpose of originalist interpretation is to prevent those with power from harming all of those without it.

“those who seek to destroy the administrative state”
The Democrats have complete control of Congress and the Presidency.
They can pass laws, if they wish.
But if they pass more bad laws they are more likely to be voted out of office.
No constitution would be worthy of respect that gives any human being the right to murder another human being.
The article contains this link with a picture of Black Panthers carrying guns in the California statehouse:

‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean–neither more nor less.’
‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean different things–that’s all.’
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master–that’s all’

That explains why originalism is important - it means our freedoms and rights have an unshakeable foundation.
“the administrative state” is intended to enforce law and not create law.
It should not be able to make illegal what has always been legal.
They resent being in the minority, and are attacking the very foundations of the country in their quest for ultimate power.

“The purpose of environmental regulation is to prevent those with power from harming all of those without it.”
Democrats, stop your cars.
You don’t want to overheat now powerless white Republicans via CO2 emissions.
Yours is the first one I have seen that factually knows it is culture rather than race that makes America superior. I say to you, spot on!
When the elite use Identity Politics to define its citizens, they intend to control people through power. Several modern countries who do so could be described as oligarchies, including Russia, China, and arguably even the United States. In the U.S.A. we call them the Deep State.
Numb to it. More people getting numb to this constant wolf cryimg.
The author of the article is Baynard Woods
The following text is taken from his website. It is the author biography given for his book “INHERITANCE: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WHITENESS.”
“Baynard Woods thought he had escaped the backwards ways of the South Carolina he grew up in, a world defined by country music, NASCAR, and the confederacy. He’d fled the South long ago, transforming himself into a politically left-leaning writer and educator.
Then he was accused of discriminating against a Black student at a local university. How could I be racist? he wondered. Whiteness was a problem, but it wasn’t really his problem. He taught at a majority Black school and wrote essays about education and Civil Rights.
But it was his problem. Working as a reporter, it became clear that white supremacy was tearing the country apart. When a white kid from his hometown massacred nine Black people in Charleston, Woods began to delve into his family’s history—and the ways that history has affected his own life.
When he discovered that his family—both the Baynards and the Woodses—collectively claimed ownership of more than 700 people in 1860, Woods realized his own name was a confederate monument. Along with his name, he had inherited privilege, wealth, and all the lies that his ancestors passed down through the generations.
In this gripping and perceptive memoir, Woods takes us along on his journey to understand how race has impacted his life. Unflinching and uninhibited, Inheritance explores what it means to reckon with whiteness in America today and what it might mean to begin to repair the past.”

So Baynard has a very guilt-ridden lens he is viewing the world through. And, privileged as his own background really is, his hubris is also so profound that the guilt he personally feels must be transmitted (and thereby diluted) by applying it equally to every other person, regardless of their individual circumstances, who just happens to have the same skin color as he does.
Pathetic. The Lord rebuke him.

“INHERITANCE”
Most inheritances are fairly quickly dissipated, but not always.
Only three of the about 20 houses on my street are inherited.
My uncle’s estate will get divided among about 10 heirs.
The person who wrote this, the editor who approved it and all employees who work at the company that published this article hate you and I and would rather us enslaved or dead than free.
“But it is impossible to sever a man like Pinckney’s thoughts on slavery from the rest of his worldview. Even if we allow that the Constitution was eventually amended to undo Pinckney’s monstrous beliefs about who was a human, it is hard to trust any argument that relies on his or his contemporaries’ intent, none of whom could have envisioned Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
Sounds like what the author is saying is that because one of the founders had “monstrous” (though common at the time) beliefs on who was human, the intent of ALL the Founders (and the document itself) is in question. This argument is absurd on its face.
It’s also extremely ironic that this argument is used to attack a SC decision on abortion since the DemocRATs main
argument that the pre-born child isn’t human.
Sounds like the person who said this, is, shall we say, a little bit racist. 🤗😀
The SC just did more to help rescue countless black babies than a fake news libtard mouthpiece would ever have enough sense to notice 🤪
