Originalist Court
Excellent article by Kirby Anderson with Point of View.There has been lots of fear mongering from the Left about how the newly constituted Supreme Court would rule on various social issues. Justices that attempt to apply the original intent of the Constitution to legal issues are called originalists. Here are a few suggestions about how an originalist court might rule on cases before it.
- Abortion – Despite the fears being spread that the next court would overturn Roe v. Wade, there isn’t any likelihood it will happen soon. First, there has to be a significant case that would come before the court. Then, there would have to be at least five justices willing to use that case to overturn the 1973 abortion decision that has been a precedent for over four decades.
- Religious liberty – The narrow decision in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case suggests that future religious liberty cases will be decided in favor of the First Amendment, even when it appears to conflict with LGBT issues. In fact, the Kennedy opinion in the case suggests that further confirmation of religious liberty will come when future cases come before the court.
- Gun laws – An originalist court will probably provide a clearer definition of the Second Amendment rights of citizens. The court has already ruled in two cases (Heller and McDonald) about the right to own weapons that are “in common use for lawful purposes.”
- Affirmative action – An originalist court would probably be a color-blind court. The original meaning of equal protection in the Constitution would suggest that attempts to favor one race over another would be unconstitutional.
These few examples conform to what most Americans would desire from the Supreme Court. In fact, they match up closely to various opinion polls taken over the last few decades. An originalist court will not be as controversial as many liberals say that it would be.

Some Local Real Estate News
Texas Health Resources and Adventist Health System are developing a new 38-acre medical campus. The Texas Health Hospital Mansfield will be on the southeast corner of US 287 and Lone Star Rd. The four-story, 195,400-sf facility will have an initial capacity of 83 beds. Services will include a 24/7 emergency room, general surgery, women’s care, orthopedics, and interventional cardiology. The $150 million campus will also have an 80,000-sf medical office building.
The local median home price increased 7.8 percent year over year to $227,250 in June, according to the Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors (GFWAR). Cowtown home sales fell 2.1 percent to 1,281 homes last month, pushing inventory up to 2.4 months. The Real Estate Center considers a six- to 6.5-months inventory a balanced market.
“The inventory of homes for sale is at the highest we’ve seen in a few years, due in part to an increase in active listings and a slight decrease in closed sales,” said J.R. Martinez, 2018 GFWAR president. “This could be due to a slight correction in the market and/or a slowdown at the end of summer as school will begin in a few weeks. However, inventory and days on market remain historically low, and the increase in median price over 2017 reflects that dynamic.”Last month, area homes spent an average of 28 days on the market, the same as the year before. Sales took 32 days to close. There were 2,596 active home listings, up 13.9 percent.

Memorial Day Thoughts
- Psalm 27:3-4:- Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war breaks out against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
- “I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak because of those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ” — Benjamin Harrison, 23rd President of the United States.
- “I don’t have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.” -– President Ronald Reagan.
I have always thought that the word hero was overused and misused but with the men and women that gave it all for our freedom, it can not be said enough.
