Those are decent enough.

You were questioning the originalist?

Do you consider yourself that?

I have done some rethinking and probably would confess to not being upset with a conservative "activist" court.

I know many folks hate that here but if we live by stare decis alone then it will be a very long road back an activist left leaning court that has been problematic for the most part since the New Deal.

Have you and I had this conversation before?

I would be happy with an Originalist stare decis court after we get back to sanity...lol

I don't even know what the heck it means. If a judge were an "originalist" he would have to throw away all but the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Than means about 10 more would have to be ignored. The term "originalist" is meaningless.
