Supreme Court's HIJACKING of Constitution EXPOSED
The Contingent History and Origins of Constitutional Originalism
Uncover how the contemporary theory of originalism originated, not as an ancient legal necessity, but as a contingent political reaction sparked by landmark Supreme Court decisions like Brown v. Board.
Short Summary
- Originalism gained public prominence in the 1980s, particularly during Robert Bork’s nomination hearings.
- Its modern form stems indirectly from resistance to Brown v. Board by segregationists weaponizing historical interpretation.
- Key figures like David J. Mays and Alfred Avins actively promoted narrow original intent interpretation to support segregation.
- The theory is historically contingent and historically problematic, requiring extensive archival access for strict application.
This discussion traces the historical roots of constitutional originalism, showing its evolution from a general historical approach to a rigid, singular mode of interpretation. Jill Lepore argues that understanding its contingent origins empowers citizens to challenge its perceived inevitability in modern jurisprudence.

The USA doesn't have a King or Queen On 7/1/2024 six justices made No one is above the law a lie. They put potus above the law. Those six justices should have been removed that same day.
The tentacles run deep....expose who they attached to and jail them all for treason.
6 MAGA Scotus Justice's are bribed and paid nicely for their decisions.
I don't think the supreme Court really gives the flying truck what they do to undermine our democracy
The supreme traitor bribe takers.
corrupt justices need to be gone
Freeze all of Trump's assets along with his family and anyone he appointed and toss them in a normal prison along with anyone in the Epstine files that is guilty and then seize those assets and pay down the debt with it and let those corrupt morons finally have consequences.
3/4 of The Supreme Court sould be impeached because they are tainted and braking laws by taking money and not recusing themselves when applicable, not because they lean Dem or Rep . The Supreme Court Justices and Congressional Representatives should serve limited terms, end of story!
The US has to get the money out of their politics and the politics out of their legal system.
The SCOTUS violate the constitution.
