What is your opinion of Originalism?

Originalism was coined by that pervert Scalia so he could use the Founders to cloak his bigotry and radical conservatism. Historians have debunked it.

Originalism is bullplop because the Constitution is NOT a monument to the "genius of the Founders". The idiotic Founders made stupid assumptions such as that Europe would remain full of absolute monarchies eager to subvert the USA and they treated enslaved blacks as worth three-fifths of a white person.

So Scalia was a liar as well as a pervert.

Rehnquist and Bork were both radical conservatives and opposed the rights of minorities. Rehnquist famously opposed Brown vs Board of Education.
saying "rely on the legislature" is ridiculous in the context of a United States where a radical, anti-democracy party (modern Republicans) have deliberately thrown a spanner into the works.

Anyone who praises Rehnquist, Bork or Scalia should get automatic side-eye.

conservatives are being disingenuous and mistaken when they criticize marginalized people for going to the courts for vindication of their human rights.

Judge Alito  supports the execution of death row inmates who are intellectually disabled with the mindset of children. This makes him a Nazi not a conservative. I wouldn't put anything past the current Supreme Court.
