"He went on to argue that this approach revives “the value judgments of a racist, misogynistic, homophobic society and constrains the value judgments of contemporary judges,” a critique that echoes the concerns of some legal scholars who decry the originalist philosophy as out of touch with modern values."

This guy is all about the Living Breathing Constitution Crapola. Kind of exactly the opposite of Originalism, but hey, he's a Lawyer so he knows . . . Strong Ganja in Hawaii-

Was he the one who said that the Hawaiian Supreme Court simply reads the words “shall not be infringed” differently than SCOTUS? What a brilliant Constitutional concept! “We read the words “neither slavery or involuntary servitude...shall exist” differently, so slavery is OK”.

This guy thinks that judges should be legislators, making decisions from the bench that reflect the changing times.

But that is precisely what the legislature is supposed to do, and why they are elected frequently, and supposedly accountable to the citizens. It's also why the Constitution has specific instructions on how to make amendments.

This judge, doesn't want to try to persuade the people of the changing values, he prefers the court to be the leaders of change. This is exactly what the founders didn't want.

Crazy how legal opinions work. Two people can look at the same concept and come away with different interpretations...or more accurately: two people look at the same concept, one reads it and applies it as written, and the other makes something up based on feelings.

Hawaii is being insurrectionist because they are ignoring the rule of law and the US Constitution. They are just ignoring the parts of the constitution they don’t like.

Like other leftists, he wants the judiciary to do what the people don’t support. The left wants the judges to rule over us...

There are a lot of Socialist appointed judges that hold the same philosophy.

That Judge in New York on the home made firearms case who arrogantly claimed “the Second Amendment does not exist in my courtroom”...

These people are ACTIVE COMBATANTS in the war to destroy the Republic and should be treated as such.

“Never should have been a state.”

This. It was a huge mistake.

This is because lawyers are taught to be advocates of the client’s position. Not supporters of truth — paid liars.

It is necessary for your lawyer to pick thru the law to find “an out”. But, this should never be in conflict with what is written into the law.

For what reason did Hawaii choose to join a racist, misogynistic, homophobic society of Americans?
