Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., calling the judicial originalism "racist, sexist, homophobic and a fancy word for discrimination" is patently irresponsible," said Sen. Mike Lee.
The term "originalism" refers to a judicial interpretation of the law based on a literal reading.
Of all the irresponsible and inflammatory statements Ive heard over the last few weeks, and Ive heard some doozies, this might well be the worst, Lee, R-Utah, told Fox & Friends on Tuesday.
If you think about what he is really saying there, Sen. Markey has essentially said that our Constitution is racist. And [that] an effort to understand it, understand its words at the time they were written, is itself racist and bigoted. I cant think of a statement that has a greater tendency to undermine the foundation of our constitutional republic. I hope, expect, and demand that Sen. Markey retract his statement. It is irresponsible; he cant defend that," Lee said.
Markey ripped the judicial philosophy espoused by Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett as lawmakers prepared for her confirmation vote on Monday night.
Originalism is racist. Originalism is sexist. Originalism is homophobic. Originalism is just a fancy word for discrimination, Markey wrote on Twitter.

Republicans have been packing the Supreme Court for years. Its our job now to expand the court and return justice to the judiciary.— Ed Markey (@EdMarkey) October 27, 2020
Supreme Court Justices serve the people, not the president. Trumps confession that he stole RBG's seat to rule on the November election and overturn the ACA puts Justice Barretts impartiality in doubt. She must recuse herself from these cases.— Ed Markey (@EdMarkey) October 27, 2020
There must be a lot of real shitheads in Mass to elect a swine like Markey.
Everything is white supremacy when white supremacy stands for anything that Left wing wackadoodles want it to be,

You cant be a powerful Democrat anymore without your 30 pieces of silver. Mostly with ChiCom mink marks these days.
Hey Markey. Go pleasure a trans-gender poofter, you Constitution hating scumbag.
It works for all concerned... the MSM gets to play God with the country and the lame-a#@ loser Liberals get INCESSANT face-time on national TV.

That’s for certain. They flash (or did not that long ago) Al Sharpton’s face on “The Word Network”.
I’m astonished there’s anyone stupid enough to follow that man.
As I’ve said many times, spirit of antichrist.
They are fulfilling Isaiah 3:9 right there.
And fools look on their error with glee and join them.

Democrats give diplomas in sexual reversion. It is a flattery program in suicide.
A lot of cults provide diplomas to make followers think they are smart to obey.
Yes, just bizarre. They know that damned fools will follow them.
It truly boggles the mind, how they sell this snake oil.

He’s a putz, and in another month or so we will find out if he is an evil putz as well.
44 years in DC makes your brain rot.
And muslims are not far off in cognitive dissonance. You would think they would protest the deeds of the Chinese on muslims but instead they protest the words of Macron in support of caricatures.
BLM, communists, democrats and islamists are all now animated by this cultist murdering cognitive dissonance of queaslings
Newsweek was wrong, we are not all socialists now, the democrats makes it that we are all a bunch of nuts now.
I’m still waiting for chief justice chump john roberts to declare no bias exists in the courts.
