		<description><![CDATA[Here I respond to Ronald Dworkin’s criticisms of Scalia’s application of public meaning originalism by giving an example in which an analysis like that which Dworkin deploys against the Eighth Amendment fails to identify what a statement means (or expresses).

		<description><![CDATA[Back in 1998 Antonin Scalia published A Matter of Interpretation, in part of which he and Ronald Dworkin debated whether judges who properly employ public-meaning originalism in order to determine what the Constitution means will, on occasion, have to engage in moral reasoning. Very roughly, public meaning originalism holds that a statute (or Constitutional clause) [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=phallacies.wordpress.com&blog=851581&post=28&subd=phallacies&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
