Does Originalism Mean There's One Right Answer?
Professor Ilan Wurman explains how indeterminacy is always a factor in Constitutional interpretation. Even the Founders realized that some text would have to be debated and interpreted by Congress, after thoughtful consideration of plausible meanings. Today, Originalists need to approach the Constitution in the same way - with the understanding that there may be more than one original public meaning of a word or phrase. Different Originalists may arrive at different answers. Sometimes there is a clear “right” answer but there can often be a range of plausible interpretations. https://youtube.com/watch?v=k2vI3QZSIQQ
