Originalism Under Fire: Missouri Abortion Ruling Ignites Constitutional Debate

The Missouri Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn abortion rights has sparked a renewed debate about the interpretation of the US Constitution. Critics argue that the court's originalist approach, focusing on the historical intent of the framers, often leads to decisions that contradict the principles of constitutional supremacy. "Ambiguity gave way to Originalist decisions not aligned with Constitutional Supremacy," stated one commentator in a recent video. The video highlighted the lack of clear guidelines for judicial decision-making and the potential for bias to influence judicial interpretations. The ruling is seen by some as a setback for reproductive rights and a demonstration of the ongoing tension between the court and the democratic will of the people. This raises concerns about the balance of power within the US system of government and the need for a stronger union to prevent domestic factions and insurrections.
