How serious is Gorsuch about his “textualism”?

Posted on June 24, 2020June 24, 2020

Chief Justice Roberts has enough of a track record to be able to discern his purpose for his vote in Bostock. Justice Gorsuch on the other hand, is new enough that we’ll need to wait to be able to judge how selective he is about reading a law as written.

I, for one, would be happy if he read the Bill of Rights as closely as he read Title 7. For example, how about reading the 2nd Amendment at face value, as if the authors meant what it says and for what they voted:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
