Gorsuch: "Suppose originalism does lead to a result you happen to dislike in this or that case. So what? The “judicial Power” of Article III of the Constitution isn’t a promise of all good things" time.com/5670400/justic… via @GorsuchBook
@GorsuchBook MY WHOLE HEART
"Virtually the entire anticanon of constitutional law we look back upon today with regret came about when judges chose to follow their own impulses rather than follow the Constitution’s original meaning."

By not accepting character flaws in public leaders, we suggest that the right public leader must be perfect in all regards. That leads to an undeserved culture of deference to public leaders when none is due.

When you excuse or embrace as virtuous their character flaws...
you deny their humanity. We need to accept Madison's warning.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."
Failure to heed leads to "my perfect angel public leader" v. "unfit for office public leader."

Not to say we shouldn't demand high standards or draw the line somewhere, but expecting perfection is detrimental to the republic send tweet

Haughton had no criminal record, lost both of his jobs.

“They messed up my life. I want the world to know that the system is not right. If I didn’t have strong people around me, they would probably leave me in jail. You’re lost in the system”

@ByLynhBui "Months after his release, he is only now fully rebuilding his life after the setback devastated him and his family of six children."
@ByLynhBui "Twenty days after his arrest, a state police lab test looking for drugs in the bottles came up negative. Yet the 45-year-old father sat behind bars for two more months total before the last of the charges were dropped after a second all-clear in a federal lab test."

"The business model for many internet companies, especially social media companies, is to capture as much of their users’ attention as possible."

Op-Ed by United States Attorney General, William P. Barr

“End Nationwide Injunctions”

“The Dreamers case shows how willful courts can ruin the chance for political compromise.”

wsj.com/articles/end-n…
“When a federal court issues an order against enforcement of a government policy, the ruling traditionally applies only to the plaintiff in that case. Over the past several decades, however, some lower court federal judges have increasingly resorted to a procedural device...”
“...the ‘nationwide injunction’-to prevent the government from enforcing a policy against anyone in the country. Shrewd lawyers have learned to “shop” for a sympathetic judge willing to issue such an injunction.”

James Iredell, one of the authors of Article III of the Constitution and a founding member of the Supreme Court, made a foundational point we must all understand regarding sovereignty in a 1799 court case.

1/ Running thread as I read through the 88 pages (!) of Gamble v. US. First, I'll start w/ J. Alito's majority opinion #SCOTUS
2/ Gamble considered a draft of the Double Jeopardy Clause that was rejected. Alito says this draft should "count for little" bc "The private intent behind a drafter’s rejection of one version of a text is shoddy evidence of the public meaning of an altogether different text"
3/ In other contexts, Justices have given great weight to rejected proposals. For, in Lee v. Weisman context, J. Souter focused at great length about earlier versions of the Establishment Clause that were rejected. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…

The removal of the #Confederate monuments is part of a.communist Progressive to destroy culture & Nations. The southern states fought for state rights against the northern aggression and the United States.
You will not find any record the southern states committed treason... I guarantee it. Look up...
No Treason The Constitution of No Authority (1870) By Lysander Spooner. Our republican form of governments was hijacked because of a military coup. I'll explain...There was...

The 14th amdt turns 150 years old this year on July 9. It is the closest we’ve come to writing into the constitution what we claimed in the Declaration of Independence. If you’re forced to pick one, choose the 14th - above the 1st, the 2nd, or the FIF. Sorry Dave Chappelle.
2/x I’m using this as a thread to post one tweet a day about the fourteenth amendment until its 150th anniversary on July 9th. John Bingham, republican of Ohio, is credited as the principal author of Section 1 of the amendment, which contains its substantive rights provisions.
3/x I sort of lied when I said I would post one tweet per day until July 9th to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 14th. Some ideas don’t fit in one tweet. So let’s say one thread per day - short ones:
