Supreme Court Moore Case – Conservatives Dismiss Founding Era Opinion

Organizations that generally favor lower taxes and a more limited role for the federal government will often also be arguing for an originalist interpretation of the Constitution.  In this case the anti-tax argument requires them to make light of a Supreme Court decision that came down when the ink was barely dry on the Constitution.
