Hold up there, while I agree that birthright citizenship is pretty clear cut, interpreting words is literally the essence of the law. The methodology is similar to all studies of the arts, be it theology, philosophy or the law. You argue and discuss your interpretation by looking at the system of the law, the history of when it was written and explanations to why it was written as well as what the writers intended for the law to mean. That naturally changes over the years
The irony is that Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas are (in)famous for being the most textualist of the judges, where they pride themselves on not interpreting the words, and instead follow the law as it is written.
Except for the clear cut case of birthright citizenship.
Ah I see, well to be fair us legal doctrine is not really much more than fancy word juggling in my opinion anyway
