Originalist Sin

It appears that we are destined and doomed to another douchebag "originalist" on the Supreme Court. They fight the culture wars with the muskets and swords of Jesuitical indirection, rationalization and obfuscation, not that these weapons are ineffective. Anachronism puts an end to rational investigation.

They are claiming primal, biblical insight into the aboriginal meaning of our founding documents, so the temporal disconnect serves them well. With those documents held hostage, under lock and key, they only allow exceptions and concessions when they like, notably in armaments and the tools of empire and invasion.

An important subtext to the 2nd Amendment is that the founders were terrified of the prospect of large standing armies and stores of munitions. I demand therefore, in originalist spirit, that we return to actual muskets and knives, kept in the homes of average citizens and practiced upon varmints and Injuns, militia-style.

I will let them have billion dollar warplanes when we can have appropriate, available education and medical care. How have these not changed as much as warfare, influenced by technology and industrialization? Meanwhile, if we are stuck with him, at least Kavanaugh is supposed to be a courteous originalist prick.
