PISLAP Community Call: Peter Gabel on Originalism

Please join us for Peter Gabel's recent talk on "Originalism," a judicial world-view requiring judges to interpret the American Constitution according to the meaning it would have had in the late 18th century. Here, Peter explains this philosophy, puts it in historical context as an attempt to constrain the development of socially progressive influences on American law, and also puts forward an inspiring vision of how we who seek to build a more humane, just, and loving world can overcome the originalists' efforts to contain it.
