I clipped your research at the top for my history groupblog as well. Thx. Your legal angle is probative.<br /><br />http://americancreation.blogspot.com/2017/04/religious-tests-for-state-office-did.html<br /><br />If you've been reading Randy Barnett vs. "the priesthood of historians"--that many or most know little of law or political philosophy--there's a bunch of stuff at AC on it. Some achingly boring prof named Jonathan Gienapp regales us with self-aggrandizements of how historians are uniquely qualified in the "art" of "thinking historically," the exact subjectivity that Barnett and originalism seek to head off with "original public meaning" rather than trying to hold a séance to discern the Framers' intent.<br /><br /><i>Toward that end, in discussing the art of thinking historically, I talked in my initial essay about how historians take up residence with the natives of the past, how they immerse themselves in their subjects’ logics and assumptions in order to think as they once did. </i><br /><br />Oy.Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-7156409498053737152017-04-08T20:42:45.716-04:002017-04-08T20:42:45.716-04:00exactly -- Professor Bailey made that point in a 2...exactly -- Professor Bailey made that point in a 2010 article in the Harvard J of Law & Pub Policy.<br /><br />sethSeth Barrett Tillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597182448693278803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-84091043919738440082017-04-08T19:34:41.970-04:002017-04-08T19:34:41.970-04:00Seth, the distinction you draw here between civil ...Seth, the distinction you draw here between civil service and holding government office seems to be a fairly obvious one, and is sustained by the Jacob Henry case.<br /><br />Unlike a civil servant, who might be reasonably be expected to pursue a lifetime career in government, the citizen-legislator was certainly the ideal of that time. One would serve a few terms then go back to private business. It seems unreasonable that these men should be expected to--or be able to--put their private business interests completely on ice for the duration and simply pick up years or a decade later with no harm done.Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.com
