The Notorious RBG’s ghost woke Clarence Thomas. “There are easier ways to get a divorce.”* The wry humor, it was her alright. He couldn’t sleep.
Whoda thought? The anti-miscegenation law passed in Mississippi, up for review soon. It looked like Loving v. Virginia might go the way of Roe v. Wade.
“We’ll move, if need be. You must be consistent,” Ginni had said. “Think of your legacy.” Shocked that she was more loyal to originalism than she was to them, to him…
What if she was right? Then again, Republican majorities and President DeSantis made federal action inevitable. Decisions, decisions.
* Thanks to Moira for this wording.
Clever and wry. But no one has accused originalists of consistency in their application of the Constitution (or liberals either.)
