posturing idiocy, as if 18th century men could foresee technological and philosophical development far into the 21ft century as if their 18th century ideas, beliefs and writings require no adjustments and upgrades (for instance: arms then were one-shot muskets requiring minutes to reload v current arms which can shoot up to 900 rounds per minute).

In Coney Barrett's case it seems a kowtowing to a man, her influencer (Scalia). just just as is the case in the male-dominated religious sect she belongs to. And not only that, who can have any respect for a woman adhering to a philosophy so archaic that women, and she is a woman, were considered property of their husbands.

A strict constructionist woman.

Ridiculous.
