Originalism-Package News

Judiciary,Hawaii,Supreme-Court

“When precedent is for suckers, it’s really hard for the judiciary to function.”

Perhaps no lower court judge has condemned the U.S. Supreme Court’s reliance on bogus history and racist values as sharply as Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins. In several, Eddins has decried the conservative supermajority’s radical reversal of settled precedent in the name of a conservative theory, originalism, that’s both dangerously retrograde and totally unworkable.

Now, what we also did was trace back the real history and tradition of Hawaii. And if we trace back the tradition ofstate, there absolutely was no right to carry lethal weapons in public for possible self-defense. It was an incredibly joyous exercise for me because I knew we were on the correct legal terrain. The Hawaii Constitution’s counterpart to the Second Amendment has the exact same words.

Hey, here’s an opportunity to take down the dishonest U.S. Supreme Court’s analysis of the Second Amendment, which snubbed federalism principles and increased homicide throughout the nationreally opened up the opportunity to articulate the importance of state constitutionalism in protecting the fundamental rights of citizens. Of course,raised awareness of interpreting state constitutions to, ideally, protect every state citizen’s fundamental rights, since the U.S.

Over the last few years, conservative litigants and justices tried to strip the ability to protect voting rights from state Supreme Courts. And it’s hard not to think they were motivated by fear of state Supreme Courts acting independently, departing from the phony originalism of the Roberts court and actually protecting the right to vote, which we used to consider fundamental.Absolutely. And again, that’s just more dishonesty. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions are really destroying democracy.
