Reddit reviews A Matter of Interpretation: Federal Courts and the Law (The University Center for Human Values Series)

The late Justice Scalia wrote a great book about this very topic! Legislative intent is (or was) only relevant for interpreting the words of the actual law as it is eventually written. Now the various District Courts want to expand that to show intent that was never translated into the text of the law.

I will admit to being a bit of a strict constructionist in my viewpoint, but this is something that is actually a fairly new approach to constitutional interpretation and is currently a pretty hot topic among lawyers! As the old saying goes, "Easy cases make bad law."

How about this?

>Because unfortunately, conservative values build nations and liberal values tear them down

Give us one example, please.

> The job of the government is recorded in the Constitution.

Yes, but as Scalia wrote in his book, it's a matter of interpretation. It's a very informative book. I recommend you read it.

> Both sides have an agenda and that agenda is to inflate the well being of their supporters so that those supporters will continue to put them in power.

I agree. Who are the supporters and how do we take them down? Trump has made them all members of his cabinet.
