Ivy Tech that we discussed way back in Episode 60.
In figuring that out, we discuss the narrow differences between "texualism" and "originalism," even though this show tends to lump them together.
As part of the analysis, we take a look into Neil Gorsuch's voting patterns to see if he's a secret liberal. Hint: he isn't.
