Examples of originalist in a Sentence

1. Mark Paoletta:

   I think he is going to be considered one of our greatest justices. And he's an originalist who had the courage to apply the Constitution and be faithful to the Constitution into the text of statute come what may. And that's what triggers the left, is that he is a Black conservative who dares to have his own thoughts, and that's what drives the left crazy and enrages them, his legacy is a courageous justice who faithfully applied the Constitution and faithfully applied, you know, statutes and recognized his role in our constitutional system, which is the greatest respect you can give to the Constitution in our structure of government.

2. Adam White:

   There's a lot of specific criticism of the Roe precedent, the way Roe was originally decided, the quality of the court's reasoning, the quality of the court's original sort of historical analysis, but what you see, when you take an extra step back, is this is a pretty comprehensive originalist argument, in terms of beginning with the text.

3. Associated Press:

   Other things equal, I think it would be good if Biden nominated an originalist, though there certainly can be originalists whose positions on particular important legal issues are sufficiently bad that I might rather have a living constitutionalist nominee, instead (depending on the particular type of living constitutionalist), originalism is not a bullet-proof guarantee against grave error. Regardless, I think it’s very unlikely Biden will nominate an originalist.

4. Justice Antonin Scalia:

   Sometimes people come up to me and inquire, 'Justice Scalia, when did you first become an originalist?' As though it's some weird affliction, you know, 'When did you start eating human flesh?'.

5. Eric Segall:

   I think that there has never been a true originalist on the Court, that all of the Justices -- liberal, moderate, and conservatives -- in big cases vote their values and life experiences more than law, and that Biden should appoint someone who honestly and transparently explains her decisions, i think the issue is a red herring.
