. . . conservatives managed to cloak their policy preferences in aesthetically compelling narratives – textualism and originalism. Their policy preferences magically transform into "the plain meaning of the text" or "the original understanding of the Framers." Liberal judges' decisions, by contrast, are "legislating from the bench." Hippie hatred thus provides the foundation of not only American foreign policy, but modern constitutional jurisprudence as well.
