If Trump wins in November, he likely will have a 4th nomination with Justice Beyer. He's 82yo. Or Justice Thomas may retire.
OMG! that would be awesome.Quote:

Sorry Johnny, missed your post earlier. I myself would prefer a "Constitutionalist", which probably leans more as an originalist if I think I understand your definitions.Quote:

All SC judges are constitutionalists.Quote:

A judge not bringing personal bias is really not any of these things in particular - that is one of the basic canons of judicial ethics. That is a base ethical expectation of all judges.
Textualism has always made more sense to me. How is a judge supposed to know the intent of the authors?Quote:

These factor into the thinking. There is always some record of intent, whether explicit or implicit in legislative history (what legislators argued that it meant in the case of laws) or the vast amount of writings the founders did contemporaneously with the Constitutional convention.
Provisions of the Constitution were drafted with a specific purpose and time can make aspects of the original language anachronistic.
Obvious example - The second amendment. You would have thought militias would be the rage and obviously the concept of “arms” itself has developed substantially since then. Civilian militias with nuclear arms?
It is really hard to pigeon hole yourself into one of these dogmas and then use it universally. Judges will pick and choose.
Mail-in ballots marked for Trump were found dumped in the trash, in Pennsylvania.
There is no doubt the Left plans to steal the election. It is not debatable, it is not in dispute, it is a scientific fact commies lie, cheat, and steal...follow the science.
There is 100% certainty Trump will actually win the election, but the commies will steal it, or try to. I support Trump standing up to this travesty. He has to, just like he has stood up to The Swamp, the Deep State, and to all commies around the world. The future of our country and the free world hangs in the balance.
The polls don't agree.:laugh:Quote:
