Per the LA Times…

“Keeping Faith With the Constitution,” a 2009 book that he co-wrote, discusses the shortcomings of “originalism,” a conservative legal theory maintaining that the Constitution should be interpreted based on its 18th century framers’ intent. Progressive judges tend to see the Constitution as a living document, shifting with the times, and to validate rights that they see as logical extensions of it.

In short, to validate rights that they, the unelected judiciary, “see fit”.

Silly me. I thought we had a legislature for that.

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students and denying black children equal educational opportunities unconstitutional.

Hookay. I expect you never to complain about the Roberts court “overreaching”, in that case. If you want the cake, you may not eat the cake…
