Live Debate Q&A: Joe Patrice, senior editor for Above the Law

Originalism is a way of interpreting the Constitution that could help it be understood through either framer’s intent or what the public would’ve intended at the Constitution’s ratification. Supporters say the Constitution needs modern interpretation, even if some pre-existing circumstances are nonexistent. Others argue it doesn’t make sense to keep our laws limited to what society back then would’ve valued.

In this context, we debate: Should the Supreme Court Focus on the Original Meaning of the Constitution?
