Those who claim the Constitution only protects a narrow slice of Americans are often trying to freeze it in its most exclusionary form, ignoring centuries of progress made in its name. The irony? 🧵

I don’t understand, unless I’ve only looked at AI first amendment, seems pretty inclusive and straightforward

I'm yet to hear a credible argument for their handwaving of the Ninth Amendment, which pre-empts so-called originalism dead in its tracks.

There isn't one. Roe is a demonstrably originalist opinion.

Especially when the Declaration of Independents starts by declaring that all men are created equal and have the same rights.

The "Originalists" are just that because of the horrific was "all men are created equal" was interpreted at the time. They want to go back to women barefoot, naked & pregnant, along with AA and other minorities working strictly as indentured servants, aka slaves.

America: 1776-2024 @tommyrayray.bsky.social

Weird because the only part of the Constitution they claim they’ll die for is a goddam AMENDMENT.

The first ten, to be precise. It gets harder to tell when you reach the Eleventh Amendment.

Wait, are we still talking about the guys who don't care about the first ten amendments if you're neither white nor male?

The same people who shout “original intent” forget that the Founders intended the Constitution to be a living document; capable of growing, correcting, and becoming more just.

It's always "that only applies to citizens" even when that isn't true. Then constantly attacking constitutional rights and hyping up a police state. It's difficult to have a civil conversation whose political stances are a roulette wheel.

Justice is not possible in an absence of the truth, and, best I can tell, most folks are more committed to their own agendas than they are to the truth.
