The best way to think of originalism [View all]
Ian Millhiser
@imillhiser
The best way to think of originalism is it lets GOP judges do anything they want, but they have to cite historical sources while doing it.
It's a bit like if GOP judges couldn't use the letter "y" in their opinions. It's annoying, but doesn't constrain their policy discretion.
