Showcase Panel IV: Originalism and Precedent

Published: Dec. 11, 2019, 7:34 p.m.

b'On November 16, 2019, the Federalist Society hosted the fourth showcase panel of the 2019 National Lawyers Convention at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The panel discussed "Originalism and Precedent."
The Supreme Court has decided hundreds of cases, many of which do not seem to square with the original meaning. How much account, if any, should originalism take account of precedent. Are there particular precedent rules that originalism can generate?

As always, the Federalist Society takes no particular legal or public policy positions. All opinions expressed are those of the speakers.
