In recent weeks, The New Digest has, by coincidence, featured a number of powerful critiques of so-called “natural law originalism” — roughly, the view that tries to justify originalism by grounding it in the natural law. Mr. Harsh Shah has written a thorough critique in two parts, and our own Professor Jeremy Christiansen has posted an important recent draft. We thought it would be a service to our readers to collect all of these in one place, in the aforementioned order.

Enjoy!
