“ I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances. Institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”
If'n Amy Coney Barrett is the originalist she says she is, then she should reject her own appointment to the court since everyone knows that women were not part of the citizenry for which the Constitution was created.
We're headed for another civil war and the dissolution of the union. That may well be long overdue. It will get very ugly before it gets better, and the better may mean new nations emerge from the rubble.
Thank you for laying this all out. Yikes! It’s a lot to take in and I may have to read and reread it. I’m not as swift as I used to be, but I believe I’m not among 99% of the gullible public who like their info in sound bites.
I guess any hope that the Supremes might be able to hold the tune to a meta ( not FB)-narrative, in terms of the law, is naive now....they are becoming part of the deconstruction team dismantl)ing democracy!!!

Why even have a Constitution? Civil Rights will be next on the chopping block, I predict.
Excellent, TC! Good solid arguments all the way through! Thank you!
