- 요약On September 26, 2020, President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. During Senate confirmation hearings, Christian Legal Society attorney Kim Colby discussed the nomination on a podcast from the evangelical Christianity Today magazine. She specifically addressed Coney Barrett's commitment to constitutional originalism, the jurisprudential philosophy of interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning rather than evolving judicial precedents or changing social context. Colby, like many evangelicals, was an ardent originalist excited by Coney Barrett's nomination. "I think," she told Christianity Today,that Christians do tend to be more open to originalism and textualism because we take the Bible seriously. We take what words mean seriously."Colby was right. She had seen this firsthand in her own work during the 1980s as she filed amicus briefs for the Christian Legal Society and the National Association of Evangelicals in key First Amendment cases like Wallace v. Jaffree and Witters v. State of Washington.She recalled Attorney General Ed Meese's monumental 1985 speech to the American Bar Association, in which he "reintroduced the idea of originalism and textualism into the public conversation.Indeed, since at least the summer of 1985, astute observers had recognized the connection between conservative evangelicals' support for constitutional originalism and their core theological commitment to biblical inerrancy, often known as biblical literalism-the belief that the divinely-inspired Bible contained no errors with regard to science and history as well as faith and morality. In his speech, Meese, a biblical inerrantist and evangelical collaborator himself, particularly singled out perceived flaws in the activist Court's religion decisions that deviated from a "jurisprudence of original intention." He lambasted the Wallace v. Jaffreedecision of a month earlier in which the Court had struck down an Alabama law allowing for a time of voluntary prayer in public schools, declaring it an unconstitutional establishment of religion.Supporters and critics alike understood the connection. The Chicago Tribunecovered the speech in an article entitled "Meese's Legal Fundamentalism."4 Several years earlier, liberal television producer Norman Lear founded People for the American Way to counter the organized politics of the Christian Right as represented by organizations like The Moral Majority. When news broke that Meese planned to appoint his conservative fundamentalist friend Herbert Ellingwood Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy-the position responsible for helping to select and vet originalist judges for nomination-People for the American Way unveiled a media campaign designed to prevent the nomination as an un-American entanglement of church and state, evangelicalism and law, the Bible and the Constitution.While People for the American Way prevented the Ellingwood nomination, it could not prevent the entanglement of evangelicals and judicial politics. In the years that followed, the conservative Republican Party adopted and catered to evangelical political goals, particularly with respect to the courts and constitutional law.
