Justice Alito Says Even Originalists Make Mistakes
Original: Justice Samuel Alito: Even Originalists Make Mistakes https://www.wsj.com/opinion/justice-samuel-alito-even-originalists
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has written a Wall Street Journal opinion piece arguing that even judges who adhere to originalism — interpreting the Constitution as understood at the time it was adopted — can err. The article is being shared among law and politics watchers, adding to ongoing debate over originalist jurisprudence and the Court's conservative majority's approach to constitutional interpretation.
Why now: Alito's concession fuels ongoing public debate over originalism and the Supreme Court's conservative legal philosophy.
