        Thomas is the primary originalist here, let’s not paint them all with the same brush. If Congress would impeach him, we might have a decent(ish) Court. See my list of “liberal” opinions they’re rendered (above).

      SCOTUS can hardly be relied on to make conservative calls. Been collecting these for a couple of months.

        Scotus has always been conservative. Get out of here with this bullshit. You think a few liberal rulings sprinkled over the cake of conservatism means anything? History has already proven otherwise.
