Wasn't Originalism brought to Roberts decades ago by right leaning groups trying to push him towards more explicitly Conservative rulings?
I am not saying he is partisan but it is hard to say he is neutral when Originalism has been used as a hammer to eliminate Liberal ideas like "maybe we shouldn't regulate modern guns used to kill dozens like muskets" or "what right does the state have over what health care a woman chooses with regards to the most dangerous thing she will do in her life".
- vitus 3y agoYeah, originalism isn't particularly new. I'm not saying Roberts is actually neutral, for what it's worth. He just doesn't want his court to be seen as particularly partisan. He and Kavanaugh are just the closest we have to the center of the current court.
