As engaged citizens it is important for us all to understand the role the Supreme Court plays in our lives and its decisions impact us all. Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation’s foremost Constitutional scholars, covers these issues in a series of three Hammer Forums.
This final installment concentrates on constitutional interpretation and the role originalism plays or doesn't play in the Court's decisions.

Thank you to the Hammer Museum for sharing this. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to listen to Erwin Chemerinsky.

I'm surprised at the comments in this thread denigrating the lecture. He makes excellent points about "originalism" being a relatively new legal theory and it's ridiculous and cynical application.

Excellent!

Therefore, in deciding the R. 60 motion the federal court must apply the weight of bribery as is established by Wis. Const. art. 13 §11, and rightfully find that the sovereign immunity privilege asserted without justification in State law voids the proceeding.

Marshall stated on numerous occasions that the Constitution was to be applied per its original meaning. He stated so clearly in Ogden vs. Saunders. Later courts would repeat this stating that such had been said too many times by the court for their to be any question on that.

Nothing better than a political activists trying to explain how laws should work.

Well, I disagree with virtually everything with Chemerinsky said here, other than his assessment pertaining to the validity of spectate but equal under the Constitution, as written and amended, which is a complex issue.

He is so dishonest. They didn’t reject Bork because of orginalism, but because of his extremists political outlook and especially his bad judgment during Watergate.

Erwin of all people should understand the court swings from left to right and back again and again. He seems to be too angry when things don't go his way to think clearly and objectively.
