Originalism and the Virtue of Constitutional Piety
Nate Oman on Originalism and the Virtue of Constitutional Piety at Concurring Opinions:
Originalism is not a form of mindless filial piety, it is a theory of textual meaning and adjudication. The notion that the meaning of a legal text is best construed by reference to the times in which it was written, and that judges are bound by rule-of-law values to ground their decisions in that meaning seems like a thoroughly respectable jurisprudential theory.
