32. If Only This Were Not True... Delusion Gives Birth To Delusion, No Matter How Intelligent One Is

Tue May 23, 2023, 01:48 PM

May 2023

Textualism and Originalism are akin to the Saducees and the Pharisees.

It matters not which flavor one chooses, one has still chosen delusion.

Delusion has no regard for man's humanity. Delusion only serves one master, the delusion itself.
It must be maintained at all costs, otherwise the delusional façade would crumble and fade away.

Reason serves reason.

It's great to have a big helping serving every day!
It's how one keeps delusion away!

May reason rule in spite of Alito et al.

I agree with Tribe, however... Fiendish Thingy May 2023 #16
