"And doesn't that mean that only those who can PROVE they're an originalist are eligible?"
If that's what the president promised while on the campaign trail, shouldn't that be a requirement?
It should be a requirement. That's why between that promise and her stated contention that she will be an originalist, I believe she will be an originalist.
My point is that if she has no indicatory record, one must accept the word of the people that know her.
