• W1507386750 abstract "On surface, an intelligible lie; underneath, unintelligible truth (1) Contrary to most powerful claims of originalist scholars, history is not equipped to protect Constitution from politically motivated interpretations. (2) This belief, grounded to varying degrees in idea of an ascertainable and objective past, cultivated inside vacuum of a legal community largely unencumbered by methodological and epistemological questions dominant in philosophy and historiography. (3) Martin S. Flaherty's History Lite in Modern American Constitutionalism (History 'Lite') (4) partially changed this by introducing methodological checks to anarchistic world of legal history; (5) but Flaherty's important work only dealt with half of problem, acknowledging but not addressing history's implicit epistemological uncertainty. (6) This Comment explores this uncertainty and its ramifications through chronicling and analyzing evolution of legal debate over meaning of America's sodomy laws over last seventeen years from Bowers v. Hardwick (7) through Lawrence v. Texas. (8) Tracking arc of this legal-historical debate reveals history's malleability. As seen in majority and dissenting opinions, oppositional historical accounts are grounded in same set of facts. (9) splintering of this one set of into two diverging factually supported historical accounts exposes legal history's capacity to shroud an agenda in facts. different accounts replace myth of history as an objective decisive entity with reality that history is capable of disguising subjective, biased decisions. Accordingly, this Comment suggests an honest and realistic view of history that can immunize our courts from its dangers while preserving its unique utility. As this Comment explains and defines history through evolving legal debate over scope and purpose of America's sodomy laws, it scrutinizes and explains this evolution through major works in field of historiography, namely writings of Martin Flaherty, Raymond Martin, Peter Novick, and Hayden White. As Flaherty explains in History Lite and I explore in Part II of this Comment, history's malleability can be attributed to historian. Accordingly, with aim of exposing this malleability, analysis here is both methodological and epistemological. Methodological scrutiny in manner of History Lite is mostly relegated to Part I, whereas Parts II and III are concerned with reducing history to its essential components--brute and more illusive meaning afforded to a set of facts. Recognition of history's true composition exposes its inherent manipulability. Part I, An Intelligible Lie: (A)historical Methodology of Bowers v. Hardwick, serves twofold purpose of introducing legal debate over history of American sodomy laws, as well as demonstrating history's susceptibility to methodological manipulation by viewing Bowers in context of History Lite. Scrutiny of Bowers through History Lite reveals a majority opinion supported by a selective reading of past. This section argues that historical manipulations, such as those in Bowers, whether intentional or not, in context of a history-reliant judiciary, misinform us about past and in doing so steer us towards an unintended future. As History Lite instructs, however, these errors by historians are correctable. (10) same cannot be said for problems arising from history's inherent fact problem. Part II, The Unintelligible Truth: Postmodernism and Lawrence Briefs, addresses major historical briefs offered to Court in Lawrence as practical examples of Peter Novick's (11) and Hayden White's (12) claim that one set of historical facts can tell many different truthful stories. (13) Novick's postmodernist position relies on what Judith Lichtenberg describes as the distinction between a realm of (perhaps we should say 'brute-facts') and a realm of interpretation, which encompasses theories, narratives, stories, and generally larger accounts that historians (or other interpreter of events) set out to tell. …" @default.
