"ORIGINAL INTENT?"---NOT !

"Original intent," the so-called alleged, "conservative" standard of judicial review, whose notable adherents include : U.S. Supreme Court Justices Taney, Scalia, Alioto, Thomas, etc., is not really original, as it falls well short of true, "original intent" in this sense: the original "Declaration of Independence" criticized colonial African slavery and Indians' oppression, that both were imputed to King George III, as evils imposed upon innocent Africans/Indians & upon freedom-loving Americans, by a cruel monarch. https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/declara/ruffdrft.html
