By now it should be clear to everyone but the most innocent American that Republicans are just interested in power and anything out of their mouth is just a lie designed to excuse their desire to destroy democracy. Even so, it is valuable to look at their lies one by one and expose them as such.
One of the most odd is the idea that they want justices, especially Supreme Court Justices, to be "originalists", as in, "true to the original intent of the people who wrote the Constitution". There is something very funny about this, in a sense they may not be lying.
Recall, the original Constitution did not permit women or Black Americans, whether slaves or not, to vote. So, do you really want an "originalist" Supreme Court Justice? Well, they do, and in this they may, for once, be telling the truth.
