nazi judges don't actually care about originalism, they just like fascism a lot and contort their brains into a pretzel shape until they come up with a judicially sounding bs excuse for their brownshirt fantasies. if you try to argue about technicalities with them, aim for a gotcha moment where you own them with facts and logic and prove why their lunatic nightmare vision of a 1776-style America could include abortion, you're taking the bait and argue on their terms. this is so simple that every breadtube radlib has known this since halfway into Trump's presidency. how fucking basic do you have to be to take such a bait in the year of the lord 2022?
Do not argue for the validity of abortion in their originalist dystopia. Argue for the formation of dual structures to protect communities against fascism, for Uvalde cops won't save you. Argue why people wanting to turn America into Gilead need to be removed from office by any means necessary, and why voting will not help against a faction that has already demonstrated it reacts to lost elections with coup attempts. That does not mean "do an adventurism", that means organize and prepare to fight back when it's coming down.
Originalism is a joke anyway. Like, textualism is shit because being inflexible is shit on top of the text being shit written by shit people, but at least it's a concrete thing everyone can see. Divining the iNtEnT of 250-year-since-dead slaveowners is the dumbest fucking excuse and it's incredible that anyone other than originalists takes it seriously.
it reacts to lost elections with coup attempts
Bush and Gore anyone?
Why does every good thing have to be shoehorned into some pseudohistorical bullshit to make it "American"? What the fuck is this obsession with 18th century men? Jesus Christ, grow the fuck up!
I wonder if part of this is (naively) trying to rebut the (disingenuous) argument given by the judges that voted to overturn it, that abortion isn't part of American history
