On episode 65 of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, just in time for Independence Day, I talked to Randy Barnett, the director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution, about his memoir, A Life for Liberty: The Making of an American Originalist. Among the topics we discussed were: How did Randy get interested in the law? How did he become a law professor? What is an originalist? Why is he one? What sort of originalist is he? What was it like arguing before the Supreme Court? Why does he still defend the Lochner decision? Is he hopeful about the future of the Constitution?
