If you went to law school, you'd know why there are so many lib lawyers out there. Think college was bad? The professors in law school make college profs look like conservatives (or in the context of law- originalists. "Is the Constitution a living, breathing document?" was the first rhetorical question posed in Con law class.

The sad thing is, a lot of college kids come out of our colleges with that "mind of mush" mindset and eat it up. The funny thing is, the originalist part came to me so naturally and the split among classmates between originalist interpreters and progressive interpreters was on ideological lines.

Of course I used to write my essays like a Marxist, pretty much disregarding the law and writing from a "liberal heart", as I wanted a decent grade and law school has "blind grading."

So-called liberals want our constitution replaced by Das Kapital. The rest of their argumentation is just so much wind.

[No Longer Free State]

An 'Originalist' believes that there is one, and only one, way fot the Constitution to be changed; that the one way is through the ammendment process spelled out in the Constitution itself; and that once ammended in accordance with those procedures, those ammendments become as binding as the 'original' Constitution.

An originalist does not believe that the Constitution is a 'living' document that is changed by the ebb and flow of either public opinion or judicial appointment.

Thus, an originalist believes people of all races, creeds, colors, and genders are afforded the same rights because the original document has been properly ammended to say so. An originalist does NOT believe that emminent domain can be used to take your property and give it to another.

For example.

so go ahead and send him this very interesting note.

I laughed out loud the moment I heard "Ari" cite the 3/5ths compromise in the Constitution as evidence of the bigotry of our Founding Fathers.

Al Gore made such an idiotic contention in one of his public utterances several years ago.

If ignorance is bliss, these ignoramuses must be ecstatic.

I just think it was mighty accommodating of Judge Roberts to let his wife out of her cage to come down to watch him during the hearings.

Seriously, would a guy whose wife has the following CV really want to limit her rights to EQUAL (not superior) RIGHTS??
