About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Article: What is “originalism?” Why Trump wants an originalist on the Supreme Court

What is “originalism?” Why Trump wants an originalist on the Supreme Court


This article was from 2018 before Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to join the Supreme Court, but I think the ideas reflect some of Wurman's thoughts on originalism and give a sense of what Trump looks for in a Supreme Court judge.
