In pointing out that it’s hard to square Antonin Scalia’s assertions that the 14th Amendment provides no protection for gender equality with the rest of his jurisprudence, I didn’t even haul out the heaviest artillery. I think it’s safe to say that none of the framers or ratifers of the 14th Amendment thought they were voting for the principle that “states have to have uniform standards for vote counts and recounts,” let alone “states have to have uniform recounts if non-uniform ones might lead to the defeat of the candidate favored by a majority of the Supreme Court, but not in any other case.”

…on a somewhat realted note, Scalia’s originalist take on pizza reminds me of Sherry and Faber on latkes and constitutional theory. Of course, the Scalia entry should be modified to read “unless the election of George W. Bush requires making latkes, in which case any recipe will work.”
