      Larry, regardless of what principled explanation of originalism you offer, in real world originalism almost always (outsidem area of criminal procedure) leads to politically conservative results, along with offering a fig leaf of neutrality used for delegitimizing opponents and

          Rick, obviously we deeply disagree about these issues. I have great respect for you as a scholar, but in my opinion, your book makes many fundamental errors and makes the mistake of looking backwards at Scalia, rather than forward at the potential of originalism.

          Sorry to hear you have those views Larry. I think the best way of knowing the future of originalism is to look at how it has been put in practice by those who purport to use it. And that means the record we have now is Scalia (and Thomas).It is far from principled or determinate.

          I don't doubt that you can construct originalist rules that would be more principled than what Scalia and Thomas have done. But I do doubt that any Justice would follow such rules. I also don't believe that following such rules is mandated by the Constitution, or desirable.

          False in both cases. For originalism to succeed, several preconditions must be satisfied, including building out the intellectual infrastructure, creating a rigorous methodology, gaining political support, and much else.

          Is there any evidence the founders were originalists in the sense that they intended to constrain future generations to the then-current meaning of the nonspecific language they used? Seems to me they had a broader vision than that.

          If I might ask two questions from an interested outsider’s perspective: 1) Aren’t we all “originalists” when it comes to statutory interpretation? In that we think the meaning of a statute in some sense reflects the “original understanding” of the enacting Congress and...

          I wish! Plain meaning textualism is very similar to originalism, but Hart & Sachs style purposivism allows judges to decide on the basis of the purposes of a hypothetical “reasonable legislature” and hence override the plain meaning of the statute.
