2021-2022 Cato Sup. Ct. Rev. ix (2021-2022)

handle is hein.journals/catoscrev21 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD Can Originalism Work? Trevor Burrus* The Cato Institute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Stud- ies is pleased to publish this 21st volume of the Cato Supreme Court Review, an annual critique of the Court's most important decisions from the term just ended plus a look at the term ahead. We are the first such journal to be released, and the only one that approaches its task from a classical liberal, Madisonian perspective, grounded in the nation's first principles: liberty through constitutionally lim- ited government. We release this volume each year at Cato's annual Constitution Day symposium on September 17th or thereabouts. After 12 years of working on the Review in some capacity-first as an intern who laboriously (and, admittedly, often incorrectly) cite checked hundreds of pages, then a managing editor who kept the trains running on time, and then editor in chief for the last four years-this is the first time I am writing the foreword. I'm taking over from Ilya Shapiro, who edited 11 volumes of the Review, and who departed the Cato Institute in early 2022 for what we hope are greener pastures. Before Ilya, Roger Pilon, the man who saved me from a life of quiet desperation in corporate law, penned this fore- word. I've turned over the task of writing the introduction to my colleague and the Review's managing editor Tommy Berry, who also began as an intern working in the cite-checking mines. Now I get to write about the interesting theme(s) that emerged in the Court's most recent term. At some point during every year that I work on the Review, I think about how quixotic the project is.
