An extreme act of lack of judicial restraint and Scalia's concurrence exposes his hypocricy to anyone paying attention. Originalism my ass. https://medium.com/illumination/originalism-or-modernism-13b897b5f90b

"I had assumed that I would find that the originalists stand on firm ground as well — that I would find some underlying philosophical (and ethical) footing securing its foundation. However, I have formed the opinion that originalism is just a method adopted by power structures or those that seek to join a power structure to implement their agenda. I formed that opinion after researching Scalia’s concurring opinion in Citizen’s United, which opinion claimed that the ruling had an originalist basis that the majority chose not to rely upon. However, upon seeing that his opinion was nothing more than a strained rationalization, the hypocrisy revealed itself and I then knew that originalism is nothing more than a tool of the white and wealthy power structure and those that seek to join them."
