Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson 🔥
Slate:
Jackson may have helped stave off disaster in a handful of key cases, steering the court away from hard-right results through tactical deployment of originalist and textualist arguments. Unlike Breyer, she expertly wielded the conservatives’ own tools against them. She spoke the language of the right to promote left-leaning principles. And from time to time, she beat the 6–3 supermajority at its own game.
@sonyasteele I've been waiting so long for someone who can and does reliably and consistently use their arguments against them.
Originalism is a lie that deliberately ignores the fact that the Constitution as written is deeply flawed, and that the Founders knew so, well.
That's why they included, and immediately used, the process of amendment to reshape the rules under which the federal government can operate, giving all future generations an example that proved their intent.
