Cuomo in NY during COVID forced the production of hand sanitizer by slaveprison labor and Gruesome Newsom forces slaveprison labor to fight forest fires so you know what, maybe the 14th amendment kind of sucks because it lets everyone pretend that slavery did get abolished and it’s a “solved problem”

So yeah you know what fuck it, let the fascists rule that a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional and blow up the Constitution through a paradox (how can the constitution itself be unconstitutional?)

Pretty sure she’s just saying an originalist would have to oppose the existence of West Virginia to be ideologically consistent. Expecting any American politician to have an ideology is lib shit though

Yeah Antonin Scalia was a textualist until he wasn’t, until he was again, until he wasn’t.

Every “originalist”/“textualist” is this way. It’s an inherently dishonest position based entirely on finding any excuse to push reaction through the judiciary.

Listen everything Scalia wrote was ideologically consistent because it used the same verbiage as Bush V Gore, “limited to present circumstances”.

I don’t really see why. Multiple states had previously been split from existing states without controversy (including Kentucky also split from Virginia). All that’s required is the approval of the state legislature and Congress. The Virginia state legislature as recognized by Congress and the President voted to allow the counties of West Virginia to leave and form their own state. Congress and the President approved.

If I were a us supreme court justice in 2024 I would be pretty careful when throwing around words like ‘illegitimate.’
