Just at a basic level, saying a judge’s orders can be ignored seems like it should disqualify you from being a judge as no one would ever need to follow your own orders

The late Richard Fallon wrote an article arguing there is no original public meaning of litigated constitutional text, dooming originalism. He was 100% right, and I honor that article and the man here.

Leviticus 19:33–34 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."

Thanks so much. Maybe you can ask your Republican colleagues why they hate America so much??? It is THEM who actually hate, all the while they were saying it was us.
They hate everything that makes up this country and this is why they are completely destroying it. WHY????
