A group of notable scholars and lawyers who subscribe to “ originalism,” the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s preferred method of interpreting the Constitution, are denouncing Donald Trump. They don’t want him anywhere near the White House or playing any role in shaping the Supreme Court. Originalists Against Trump seeks to dispel the notion that voting for the GOP nominee is somehow supportive of constitutional values, as the founding fathers envisioned them. “Our Constitution vests in a single person the executive power of the United States. In light of his character, judgment, and temperament, we would not vest that power in Donald Trump,” the group wrote in an open letter. Republican leaders, including self-described constitutionalists such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), have been adamant that they want the next president to fill the vacancy created by Scalia’s death earlier this year. But in the process, they are turning a blind eye to their presidential nominee’s apparent constitutional illiteracyand his seeming incapacity to understand entry-level concepts about the rule of law. Originalists Against Trump thinks that’s a terrible mistake.
