I mean, I get all that. I am talking specifically about these constitutional interpretations. Like, they are pretty much saying "**** critical thinking, what's written is as it is!" Ridding our higher education of this idea that thinking critically about things, not accepting an answer given just because it is what was given, that is contrary to originalism and textualism. So teaching future lawyers and judges that they should question things just means that they are less likely to accept their bullshit that they shovel at you and tears down those schools of thought.
