Law professor trashes constitutional originalists: ‘stupid to the point of pain’

A law professor at Indiana University recently told one of his classes he “hates” those who subscribe to constitutional originalism, and that he “can’t care less” what the Founding Fathers thought 250 years ago.

In a video clip obtained by the Manhattan Institute’s Ilya Shapiro, Professor Frank Emmert, a “widely known and highly regarded expert” in areas such as the European Union, international trade, and the World Trade Organization, also says the Founders “were actually probably […] racists [and] misogynists.”

“Who is going to tell us that we have to interpret our constitution and what these people were thinking 250 years ago, that basically denies an entire country the idea that we can learn and get better,” Emmert (pictured) says in the clip.
