Google Books: Constitutional Originalism

Here are some links to Works now in the public domain, available through Google books.  They are primarily three separate Historical Constitutional Commentaries, plus I added some miscellaneous references that caught my eye.

Contemporary Conservatism’s Continuing Collaspe

Conservatives used to possess honour, standing their ground come hell or high water, upon the firm foundations of their immutable principles. Conservatism, as a political theory, has become noxiously contaminated over the last two plus decades. This is attributable to the Republican Party’s ends-testing for only electoral wins, which fomented The Big Three-Ring [...]

Revisiting Ron Paul’s Congressional Absenteeism

Ron Paul says he would have voted against the FISA Amendment, if he would have been attending Congress the day of that vote.   Ron Paul did however have a nice ditty entered into the the Extensions of The House Congressional Record four days later, so he could claim he was against it, even though he [...]

These then get ejaculated into right-sided echo-chambers; and there within the closets of contemporary conservatism, mutual stroking rituals begin in earnest, as wee-willy-wankers’ circle-jerking spew enhancement.
The jerkin’ lil gherkins [...]

Looney-Con Yoohoos’ Revisionary Mental Apocalapses

John Choon Yoo’s June 17, 2008 Wall Street Journal Op/Ed vehemently oppositional to the Supreme Court’s decision in Boumediene v. Bush, “The Supreme Court Goes to War“, is not surprising for its content.

He is also an equivocating partisan relativist conservative pretender, or to restate it succinctly, a new-righty.  His statement about Boumediene v.

Hatch is another assward ho contemporary conservative, when it [...]
