Is Dred Scott an originalist decision?
Or is it the product of the "living constitution?"
Is substantive due process even a plausible reading of the Due Process Clause?
The Living Constitution is unrestrained by the Written Constitution. It can give you decisions that are your most cherished dreams, or decisions that are you greatest nightmares.
Whereas the original Written Constitution says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
