On the other hand, most Republicans believe the\u00a0constitution\u00a0should be read based on its original\u00a0intended\u00a0meaning. This approach is called \u201coriginalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his op-ed, Toobin wrote that Jackson had answered many questions in line with originalism, though it should be noted her nomination by President Joe Biden would seem to indicate that Jackson is not an originalist. Nevertheless, Toobin whined Republicans are winning the \u201cideological war\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Jackson presented herself as an originalist.

Toobin claimed that its \u201cdebatable\u201d whether the Constitution should be read according to its original\u00a0intent, noting the framer\u2019s intent of the document might be disqualified because it\u2019s not relevant to current events:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">\n<p>It\u2019s highly debatable whether we as a society should be bound not just by words written hundreds of years ago, but by the\u00a0world views\u00a0of the people who wrote those words.
