The Supreme Clerics of America divine truth from our holy text, it's says, be more racist.
Cuomo in NY during COVID forced the production of hand sanitizer by ~~slave~~prison labor and Gruesome Newsom forces ~~slave~~prison labor to fight forest fires so you know what, maybe the 14th amendment kind of sucks because it lets everyone pretend that slavery did get abolished and it's a "solved problem"
So yeah you know what fuck it, let the fascists rule that a constitutional amendment is unconstitutional and blow up the Constitution through a paradox (how can the constitution itself be unconstitutional?)
Dogma (1999)
Pretty sure she's just saying an originalist would have to oppose the existence of West Virginia to be ideologically consistent. Expecting any American politician to have an ideology is lib shit though
How long until she declares the Louisiana Purchase unconstitutional at this rate? 
Yeah Antonin Scalia was a textualist until he wasn't, until he was again, until he wasn't.
Every "originalist"/"textualist" is this way. It's an inherently dishonest position based entirely on finding any excuse to push reaction through the judiciary.
claims to be an originalist
does judicial review
Listen everything Scalia wrote was ideologically consistent because it used the same verbiage as Bush V Gore, "limited to present circumstances".
ah, a personal favorite,
this ruling sets no precedent because I decided it doesn't
The kind of thing produced by a very real and legitimate court system and definitely not just 9 unaccountable, unelected elders making decisions on a whim.
But remember, we can't stack the court with 50 zoomer maoists because people would "lose faith" in the "institutions".
until he wasn't
I don't really see why. Multiple states had previously been split from existing states without controversy (including Kentucky also split from Virginia). All that's required is the approval of the state legislature and Congress. The Virginia state legislature as recognized by Congress and the President voted to allow the counties of West Virginia to leave and form their own state. Congress and the President approved.
49 state flag vendors salivating
I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah
They haven't been this horned up since the 248 days before the admission of Hawaii in 1959.
If I were a us supreme court justice in 2024 I would be pretty careful when throwing around words like ‘illegitimate.’
Just 2024?
Since what, 1801?
Maybury v. Madison was wrongly decided
I'd posit that the entirety of the US is illegitimate, but it is amusing that people who believe in adhering to every single letter in a document authored 250 years ago are taken remotely seriously
the arguably unconstitutional United States of America
Yes but if your entire intelligence plusca few high end gpu's are turned to the task of justifying whatever you currently feel, and that is the entire purpose of everything in the world, then you can totally pick and choose.
They really are brilliantly stupid, and I mean it when I say that.
This is the medium domino in the chain that leads to the full cardinality of Virginia.
"western virginia" breaks the meter of Country Roads 
"West Makaha" doesn't and that version's better anyway 
How tf is an amendment illegitimate? It’s an amendment. It amends the constitution
I’m going to introduce an amendment to the constitution that reads, “this amendment is unconstitutional”. Boom. Instant constitutional crisis.
paradoxical constitutional shenanigans let's goooo

If they claim the 14th is illegitimate but make no such claim about the 13th and 15th, it's just what @urmums401k said. If they claim all 3 are illegitimate they're a fucking confederate sympathizer and should be tarred and feathered as such
no this is great because if original popular sovereignty is the basis of legitimacy then she's definitely endorsing the idea that the united states itself is completely illegitimate. the constitution was imposed on the american people without the support of the necessary supermajority of those same people, since a supermajority of them were explicitly denied enfranchisement by that very constitution.
Yes but see its inconvenient for me, so, you know.
Illegitimate.
Yeah buddy sure. You vs a Supreme Court justice. Who am I supposed to believe?
