Uh, slavery was allowed. Slaves were considered 3/5 of a human being. And women could not vote. Yes, the Constitution DOES change over time!

Amy Coney Barrett on originalism: "That means that I interpret the Constitution as a law... I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. That meaning doesn't change over time and it's not up to me to update it or infuse my policy views into it."

by her own standard, she's not qualified for the job.
Replying to @marwilliamson
She doesn’t seem to understand what the role of the Supreme Court is.

The best definition ice heard of an originalist is the legal equivalent of supply side economics. Economic and legal fundamentalism has delivered America to a cruel oligarchy.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I see today’s left wing talking point to to change the meaning of the term “originalism.” This will probably be as successful as this week’s earlier attempt to change the meaning of “Court packing”

ACB should withdraw her name
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yeah, because of something called “Amendments.” In this case, the 13th, 14th and 19th. Read more and be stupid less.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Those would be amendments, not judicial activism.
Replying to @marwilliamson
By Barrett’s thinking then, for example, concerning the Second Amendment, a musket loader weapon is equivalent to an AR-15. I AM SORRY AMERICANS, THIS IS NOT THOUGHT. THEREFORE, USA HAS A JUDICIARY BASED ON PSEUDO THOUGHT. sad…!!!

She's a horrible thing.

Nowhere in the US Constitution did it state women could not vote. You should try due diligence Ms Space crystal.
