The Anti-Federalists and the Court [2020 Western Chapters Conference]

On January 25, 2020, the Federalist Society hosted its annual Western Chapters Conference at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. The conference concluded with a panel on "The Anti-Federalists and the Court."

Just this term, the Anti-Federalists played a major role in the outcome of Franchise Tax Board v. Hyatt. Is that a one-off or a sign of more to come? Beyond simply citing the papers as a plea to authority, should courts confronting questions of originalism read the materials underlying Anti-Federalist thought as a way to understand the Constitution?
