Windsor, Shelby County, and
the Demise of Originalism:
A Personal Account<http://www.acslaw.org/publications/issue-briefs/windsor-shelby-county-and-the-demise-of-originalism-a-personal-account?mgs1=173admuKgu>

An Issue Brief by
Professor Dawn Johnsen

As the Supreme Court's 2013-14 Term gets underway, Professor Dawn Johnsen, the Walter W. Foskett Professor of Law at Indiana University Maurer School of Law, examines the Court's rejection of a methodology that "seeks to interpret the Constitution with reference only to the text and the original intent of the Framers defined at the most specific level of meaning at the time of the provision's adoption." Such an approach, Johnsen contends, is "utterly irreconcilable with Windsor and Shelby County," the Court's recent decisions striking down provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act and the Voting Rights Act.


In the Issue Brief, Johnsen predicts that "2013 will be regarded as a critical year in the history of two distinct legal/political movements that first gained momentum in the 1980s: most obviously, strengthening the movement to combat sexual orientation discrimination and repression; and, more generally and less noted, weakening the movement to promote "originalism" in constitutional interpretation and American politics."
