Berkeley law dean: “The scourge of originalism has taken over the Supreme Court.” He is outraged that conservative justices strive to determine what its authors meant. But what is the alternative? That the Constitution means whatever liberal justices say it means. Next week it may mean something else, who knows?

This “living constitution” is no constitution at all. It is merely a certificate stating, “These unelected people in black robes have power to decide everything as they jolly well please, so shut up and obey.” If that’s what you want, just remain silent, and that’s what you will get.
