Wasn't DC v Heller ghost written by the same group as Dobbs? (not literally but guided in a similar fashion) Of course it is similar it was a test bed to pull this. At least DC v Heller could point to actual facts to back up it's interpretation. Dobbs just dances around the idea saying "we believe" a lot and super focusing on the Supremacy clause in a way not seen in... I couldn't even say how long ago it was that th…

In as far as the last three justices willing to overturn Roe were hand-selected by them, yes, but there was little doubt that any of them would vote to overturn Roe even before their confirmations. > At least DC v Heller could point to actual facts to back up it's interpretation…

Wasn't Originalism brought to Roberts decades ago by right leaning groups trying to push him towards more explicitly Conservative rulings?

I am not saying he is partisan but it is hard to say he is neutral when Originalism has been used as a hammer to eliminate Liberal ideas like "maybe we shouldn't regulate modern guns used to kill dozens like muskets" or "what right does the state have over what health care a woman chooses with regards to the most dangerous thing she will do in her life".

My understanding (possibly incorrect) is that competing with DocuSign is hard because of the need to follow obscure state and National laws (many of which are defined by case law rather than published law) in order for the signatures to be legally binding. Is that the case? And if so, is there evidence OpenSign has done this kind of SME research to make sure the electronic signatures are legally binding, or is this m…

Note that DocuSign does not automatically provide this as well in Europe. For example, in Germany, digital signature is not legal at all. So for every occasion, DocuSign is mainly used as a binding in a nonlegal way (for example, employee and employer agreed on paper that there will be a contract). But until both of you signed a physical copy, this is not legally binding at all.

Yeah, originalism isn't particularly new.

I'm not saying Roberts is actually neutral, for what it's worth. He just doesn't want his court to be seen as particularly partisan. He and Kavanaugh are just the closest we have to the center of the current court.
