And in some instances, it has been Scalia and Thomas who have done so more than those who may think
of themselves
less as originalists (in one recent case in particular Scalia and Thomas dissented from the majority which held that convicted
child molesters could be indefinitely imprisoned despite having fully served their sentences based on subtle shifts
of language and the over-application
of prior case law — no one wants a
child molester free and about, but such results focused outcomes are always dangerous).
