DESCRIPTION:Thursday, October 12 at 3 - 4pm PT\n\nWatch here: 
 https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBrennanCenter\n\nThe Supreme Court’s 
 conservative supermajority has appealed to history to justify its recent 
 opinions that have eviscerated reproductive freedom, gun control, and 
 affirmative action. With its hard originalist turn, the Court has signaled 
 that more such opinions are in store, making the past a battleground for 
 the future of the Constitution. \n\nBut should history be the sole source 
 of rights? And what if the history that the Court has relied on is flat-out 
 wrong?\n\nThe Court has placed the work of professional historians in the 
 middle of a critical national conversation. And historians have a lot to 
 say.\n\nJoin Brennan Center for Justice as leading historians dissect how 
 history has been used and abused in consequential recent cases and expose 
 the flawed thinking at the core of toxic originalism. \n\nOur guests will 
 include legal scholars Laura Edwards, Kate Masur, and Karen Tani. Moderator 
 Adam Serwer will lead the panel as it sets the historical record straight, 
 sketches out alternative views for how history can help us better 
 understand the Constitution, and highlights issues to watch when the Court 
 reconvenes this fall.\n\nPANEL:\n\nLaura Edwards, Class of 1921 
 Bicentennial Professor in the History of American Law and Liberty, 
 Princeton University\n    \nKate Masur, Board of Visitors Professor, 
 Northwestern University\n    \nKaren Tani, Seaman Family University 
 Professor, University of Pennsylvania Law School\n    \nModerator: Adam 
 Serwer, Staff Writer, The Atlantic\n\nProduced in partnership with the 
 Society for Historians of the Early American Republic\n
