Professor Rosenthal has published “The New Originalism Meets the Fourteenth Amendment: Original Public Meaning and the Problem of Incorporation” in the Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues as part of a symposium sponsored by the University of San Diego’s Institute for Constitutional Originalism on the debate over whether the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the first eight amendments and makes them applicable to the states. The symposium is especially timely in that the United States Supreme Court is now considering whether the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms is applicable to the states in McDonald v. City of Chicago.  The respondents and a number of the amicus briefs have cited Professor Rosenthal’s article to the Court.
