Does the forum have a right-wing bias?

[Emsworth]

There is no significant overall bias on this forum. The libertarians or classical liberals are merely more vocal.

On constitutional issues, there's definitly an originalist slant...

I would disagree with that assessment. There are only three or four originalists on this board as far as I am aware.

Most forumites do not even have judicial philosophies. In fact, I would go so far as to say that most of the forum is very unconcerned about constitutional issues (except maybe those relating to the Bill of Rights). For many people, policy considerations appear to be much more important than constitutional law.

But from what I've read of the constitutional threads, the only person able to put up a real argument against you guys is Peter Bell.

Well, jimrtex and muon2 are also very good debaters, but they post infrequently. The funny thing is that Peter actually agrees with us (the originalist posters) on a number of issues (for example, that the federal minimum wage is unconstitutional); almost all of our disagreements are over the Ninth Amendment.

I don't disagree. However, this group has almost no impact at all on the views of the forum as a whole. I mean, most of the forum doesn't really care whether the minimum wage is technically constitutional or not.
