Analysis of Statutory Interpretation and Judicial Outcomes

The chapter delves into the discrepancies between textualism in statutory interpretation by the Supreme Court and the actual judicial outcomes. It highlights cases where textualists go beyond the explicit text of statutes, the Chief Justice's lack of control over the conservative block, lack of unanimity in important cases, critiques of the Chief Justice's handling of cases, opinions authored by different justices, recognition of certain justices in the public sphere, and specific instances of Justice Barrett diverging from conservative viewpoints.
