Abstract
During Supreme Court nomination fights - like the current battle over President Donald Trump's new Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh - we hear a lot about how judges should interpret the Constitution. Conservatives argue that the Constitution's words have an original meaning, frozen in time. Progressives argue that the Constitution's meaning should evolve with the changing times.
