The Supreme Court’s fantasy world of ‘originalism’ is proving to be a failure
AlterNet 11-9-21
As Fordham University history professor Saul Cornell has noted: If one looks carefully at the murky methodology and dubious practices of new originalism, it is clear that its historical foundations are even shakier than that of old originalism. The new theory is little more than an intellectual shell game in which contemporary political preferences are shuffled around and made to appear part of the Constitution’s original meaning.

Michael Peppard, who teaches philosophy at Fordham University, came up with an analogy to try to persuade the unvaccinated: The vaccine is like traffic. Traffic lights impinge on our freedom, but if 25% of us refused to abide by them, our streets would be more deadly. That is why close to 100% of us choose to obey traffic laws.
