YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., questioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett about how she defined her judicial philosophy of "originalism." Barrett said it "means that you treat the constitution as law, because it commits these texts to writing, and in interpreting that law, you interpret it in accord with the meaning that people would have understood it to have at the time that it was ratified....I think probably people think, 'Oh, it's only conservatives who are originalists,' but actually it's a more widely accepted view than that."
