even the most conscientious effort to adhere to the original intent of the framers of our Constitution is flawed, as all methodologies and human institutions are; but at least originalism has the advantage of being legitimate and, I might add, impartial.

A good article by a good and honorable man. Thanks for posting.

For those who know how to read worldviews - CT’s worldview is RIGHT.

All mankind is inherently flawed (sinners) and all institutions of man will be flawed. The secret to living with flawed institutions is limiting their power over individuals.

The left doesn’t have a truthful (Biblical) worldview, and sees man as perfectable, if only the right institutions are given enough power.
