You’re Wrong About Originalism

Forgive us Father Originalism, for we have sinned.

Sarah Isgur and David French are joined by William Baude, professor at the University of Chicago Law School, to discuss the scandalizing origins of originalism. But first, a recap of SCOTUS cases.

The Agenda:
Narrowing the Fourth Amendment
— Where is Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
AARP v. Trump is an unfortunate case name
Facebook post raises eyebrows for Maine lawmakers
—Correcting the color of our briefs
—Dissents, dissental, disgrantle
—Move over Robert Bork
