Listen to the last episode:
Textualism, which sees a legal system's original structure as immortal, is the dominating philosophy on the court today.

About: On Point is WBUR’s award-winning, daily public radio show and podcast. Every weekday, host Meghna Chakrabarti leads provocative conversations that help make sense of the world.
