Did I? I don’t know him personally.
Which leads to problems with our newest form of judicial activism: originalism.
Just saying the word makes it sound old and respectable—rather than an invention younger than many of us.

I don’t mean you spoke well of him personally.
Am I mistaken? I’m fairly sure I remember you posted something about him in the recent past, that included a generally favorable impression.
This is probably what I was thinking of.
It’s possible. Seems like I remember the name.
Ah so. Yes.
So, at the end of the day,
Does the judiciary give more weight to their own decisions or to the actual Constitution?
If it is the former, was this the intention?
Again if it is the former, does this tendancy accelarate the drift away from the anchor?
I have stated before that the court seems to be moving in the direction of restoring 10th A and Constitutional authority, that had been stripped from them in the past, back to the states in full, though they are taking it slow.
It gives more weight to the Constitution.
I hope you’re right.
What do you think?
Previous opinions are weighed much more heavily. The Constitution is paid lip service.
