Why are Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas "originalists"?
Thomas Jefferson, a founding father, recogonized that laws must be interpreted with the times so why do these Justices believe they shouldn't?
"I am certainly not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Taken from a letter to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816.
4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWhen is a building rebuilt vs repaired?
My neighbor has a shed on my property and I told him he could leave it there because its been there for 70 yrs already. However, I also told him that since its rotting out that he was not allowed to rebuild it. Now he is taking off the sides, putting in a new sill, and new floor because its all rotted out. The town is not requiring him to get a permit because they say its a repair? When does a repair become a rebuild?
