The Right's true opposition to CRT?
#5
RE: The Right's true opposition to CRT?
(July 31, 2021 at 12:27 pm)Jehanne Wrote: I wonder if the reason that social conservatives are opposed to CRT is that they want to maintain the idea that the federal courts should interpret the Constitution principally from the framework of the Founding Fathers (whose number ranges from 7 to 13, depending on which scholar one asks).  On the other hand, if historians can show (and, they have shown) that the Founding Fathers, while distinguished during their own time, nonetheless, had some ideas that the majority of individuals of our day would regard as being nutty, then the idea of the "textualist" view of the federal courts seems silly.

Re the bit I bolded; they can't even get that right. For example it is clear as day that the founding fathers vested the rights in the second amendment in the states and not in individuals, hence the "well regulated militia" clause. Also despite what "originalists" think, the first amendment doesn't privilege christianity, it tells all religions to butt out of secular business and the state will not impose its will on them.
