That is semantics. So now you agree it isn't a fantasy. "Originalist" just means they interpret the baseline. BTW - ACB is brilliant from the brief glimpses I have seen of her. Smarter than Kavanaugh and or Roberts. She is going to be a very strong justice. What do you guys do in the UK in terms of courts and such?Your language is vague, but betrays the problem. It's a baseline, or a starting point. I agree with that. Once you leave that starting point, you're no longer being originalist.No. Not remotely. It is a baseline. A fantasy is something that isn't real. Go back to my theater/Netflix example. We have a baseline and now we take the best of best in legal matters and have them interpret it.
