He's been saying this for years in decisions, largely in dissents (now that's a toe-curling thought -- it's been rightwing justices on a largely conservative court who've been protecting us from Mad Tony).
The only reason this troll collects a paycheck is because Democrats ceded to manipulative Republican framing long ago. Liberals are "judicial activists" who "legislate from the bench" and conservatives are "originalists" who follow "strict construction". The choice is pretty clear, do you want someone who follows the letter of the Constitution or someone who uses it like Play-doh?
