If Alito is serious about the patrons of colonial tavern thing [he's not], then obviously the Bill of Rights means Catholic exclusion.

Placing the Bill of Rights in the "colonial era" here is wrong in a very obvious way that I find extremely annoying and telling. A way of placing it in some imaginary Ye Olde Tyme past instead of the actual, historical era in which it happened.

Question, since you've actually read the book: is saying "colonial-era" here deliberate? Like is the idea "what would someone have thought of this language before the Constitution actually existed"? Or is he just being clumsy

Oh man! I'm working on an article about Dutch Reformed pastors doing holy war rhetoric in English as part of performing the Protestant Front, with afterlives in the American Revolution and onto the Civil War for the epilogue. Part of a Wendell Grant from the New Netherlands Institute!
