Originalism Rules

Again, enough already on the presidential horse race! (Sorry, I just insist on being a curmudgeon on that topic.) Let's get back to, well... to flacking my own columns! :) In this case, I give a big hand to Steven Calabresi and the Federalist Society for their new book on Originalism. Do read it. (The book, I mean; actually, read both the book and my column.) To circle back to the presidential race, the issue of judges and of constitutional interpretation by rights ought to be the single most important domestic issue. (So far, only Fred Thompson has done a pretty good job in discussing it.) Judicial conservatives, unite!
