183. Originalism, The Supreme Court, and America's Future


Listen Later

In the United States, the term 'originalists' refers to those who believe that the US constitution should be interpreted today with the same conviction as it was followed when written hundreds of years ago. But how can the ideas and laws from over 200 years ago possibly just simply be accepted today, when we live in a totally different world? So what exactly is originalism? And how has it affected the Supreme Court in terms of decisions related to guns, abortion rights, and other domains? Professor Eric Segall joins the podcast.
