The Contingent History and Origins of Constitutional Originalism
Uncover how the contemporary theory of originalism originated, not as an ancient legal necessity, but as a contingent political reaction sparked by landmark Supreme Court decisions like Brown v. Board.
Short Summary
- Originalism gained public prominence in the 1980s, particularly during Robert Bork’s nomination hearings.
- Its modern form stems indirectly from resistance to Brown v. Board by segregationists weaponizing historical interpretation.
- Key figures like David J. Mays and Alfred Avins actively promoted narrow original intent interpretation to support segregation.
- The theory is historically contingent and historically problematic, requiring extensive archival access for strict application.
This discussion traces the historical roots of constitutional originalism, showing its evolution from a general historical approach to a rigid, singular mode of interpretation. Jill Lepore argues that understanding its contingent origins empowers citizens to challenge its perceived inevitability in modern jurisprudence.

The USA doesn't have a King or Queen On 7/1/2024 six justices made No one is above the law a lie. They put potus above the law. Those six justices should have been removed that same day.
The MAGA 6 Roberts Court has an agenda and couldn’t care less what the American people think.
It isn't judicial supremacy, it is partisan lawfare. There is no jurisprudence coming from the right wing Roberts court. Every ruling is based on what best serves Harlan Crow, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump.
John Roberts is a disgrace and history will remember him as a traitor to the Constitution. If we lose our freedom, certainly he will be Trumps enabler. They are criminals.
The tentacles run deep....expose who they attached to and jail them all for treason.
6 MAGA Scotus Justice's are bribed and paid nicely for their decisions.
I don't think the supreme Court really gives the flying truck what they do to undermine our democracy
The supreme traitor bribe takers.
corrupt justices need to be gone
The US has to get the money out of their politics and the politics out of their legal system.
