Barrett Explains Originalism

Amy Coney Barrett explained her belief in “originalism” at her Senate confirmation hearing: “That means that I interpret the Constitution as a law… I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. That meaning doesn’t change over time and it’s not up to me to update it or infuse my policy views into it.”

Hillary Clinton: “At the time the Constitution was ratified, women couldn’t vote, much less be judges.”
