Abstract
The article examines the complexities of modern textualism, challenging the simplicity and objectivity promised by the interpretive theory. It identifies twelve categories of doctrinal and theoretical choices that often divide modern textualists, causing internal divisions within the Supreme Court. It further suggest that textualists need to better define their methodology, eliminating activist or idiosyncratic doctrines.
