Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's always been fascinated by the Constitution, I found 'Against Constitutional Originalism' a breath of fresh air. Gienapp doesn't just challenge originalism; he forces you to question your own assumptions about the Constitution. Innerst's narration is excellent, his voice steady and reassuring, even when discussing contentious topics. The pacing is spot-on, never rushing through dense historical details, yet never bogging down in them either. My only minor critique is that some of Gienapp's arguments could have used a bit more nuance, but that's a small price to pay for such a compelling reexamination of our founding document.
