"Our own" what?

I understand why you ask that and it is a good point.

By "our own," I might mean something different from some folks in the forum.

By "our own," I mean a person who favors a jurist who believes in the original intent of the Founders.

By "our own," I mean someone who believes that government operates the best, when it does the few things it is supposed to do, in a way which is respectful of the people.

By "our own," I mean a person who is fundamentally influenced by the joy of being a free person instead of someone who is fundamentally loyal to the person who holds a government post.

So anybody who isn't slitting their wrists and setting their hair on fire over this nominee does favor originalists, have I got that right?

Same for the last two paragraphs; you're basically saying that if we aren't bloodletting right now in agreement with you that we couldn't possibly believe in any of those things you have listed?

Good Lord, man. Sanctimonious cant. "By "our own," I mean a person who is fundamentally influenced by the joy of being a free person....."

Sophomoric, perhaps even puerile.
