Remember the constant #GOP #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS braying about #Textualism and #Originalism and #OriginalIntent?

All lies

The GOP cares about the US #Constitution about as much as it cares about the #Bible

Find one passage they need right now

Misinterpret it to their immediate ends

Ignore all the rest

Or make something up out of whole cloth

Either way, throw it away when it's no longer needed

"Even as £DeSantis has earned the highest rating from the National Rifle Association’s political arm, #gun owners are balking at his recent appearances at events where firearms were prohibited, according to interviews and online posts."

If #2A means we have to put up with school shootings...

... but it *doesn't* mean DeSantis supporters get to bring guns to rallies..

... I'm thinking we've got a pretty goddamned flexible #secondamendment. What happened to #originalintent? 🙂

@brianbeutler

The mask is off

All that #Textualism and #Originalism and high-minded-sounding #OriginalIntent schtick was a premeditated #Federalist / #GOP lie

It's far right #SCOTUS #ActivistJudges all the way down from here on out

Federal judge Robert L. Wilkins explains why his family's history puts the lie to the right-wing legal doctrine of 'original intent -- that judges should interpret the Constitution according to how the Founders would have understood it. More powerful words have rarely been spoken.
