Textualism outside of law is fun. Enjoy. In the context of law, and this entire thread, it's nonsense used by people to make themselves think they are smart, or trick other people into thinking they must be smart. In law, everything is textualism, and therefore anyone who claims textualist jurisprudence as a distinct thing they practice are simply attempting to classify anyone else as not smart enough to form valid opinions about what words and phrases mean.

Everything should be. But 95% of everything is really people decrying textualism and actively choosing their ideology.

What nonsense did you use?

Of course the textualist thinks only he is above ideology. This is how you can tell they're clowns.
