So much for "originalism"

This morning I am so distressed by the chaos of our current president's administration and the complicity of the Senate and their blatant politicalization of the Supreme Court that I do not know where to begin to clear my mind. So I will let someone else help me.

Heather Cox Richardson's post today offers this paragraph about the Supreme Court's decision blocking Wisconsin's "counting of votes postmarked before Election Day by received up to six days after it."

"In a footnote, Justice Kavanaugh went further to argue that states need to avoid 'the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of the election. And those States also want to be able to definitely announce the results of the election on election night, or as soon as possible thereafter.' This is the argument Trump has been making to delegitimize mail-in ballots, and it is political, not judicial. Absentee ballots do not “flip” an election; they are a legitimate part of an election that cannot be decided until they are counted. And the idea of calling an election on the night it is held is a tic of the media. In fact, no state certifies its election results the day of the election. Some take weeks."

Of course, Justice Kavanaugh: Because the original thirteen states wanted to "announce the results of the election on election night," right? Back in the old days, that's how it was done, right? All the results from all the precincts in all the towns and counties of each state were in the state capitals and tabulated in time to announce the results of the 11:00 news, right?

I love originalism, don't you? And now it will be visited upon us by a super-majority of our Supreme Court (except when it's not convenient for them to do so).

End this nonsense. Vote for Biden. I am clear about that.
