讲座摘要：
今天美国最高法院有四名成员都自称是文本主义者。他们声称自己作为文本主义者，会根据宪法文字的原初含义来解释。但这种进路漏掉了关键一步。真正的文本主义法官应当和建国时期的法官一样阅读宪法文本并做出解释，而不只是简单地遵循文本的原初含义。虽然现在的学者和法官并未认识到这一点，但这种做法的确存在于共和国早期的案例中；通过研究这些案例，会帮助我们揭示法院最初如何解释文本。早期法院在司法审查时，并不只是简单从句法上分析文本。法官会尊重立法者的决定，除非出现以下两种情况：1、立法涉及司法权或陪审团的权力；2、州立法削弱了国家权力。当这两种情况出现，法院才会能动地审查立法。今天最高法院里的文本主义者所做的恰恰与历史上的文本主义进路相反，他们保护州权同时能动地审查国会立法。一种适当的文本主义会加强国会的一般权力，同时增加州立法机关和国会以不违反第二修正案的方式规制枪支使用的权力。
Four members of the United States Supreme Court describe themselves as textualists and say that, as textualists, they interpret the Constitution in accordance with the original meaning of its words. But this approach misses a critical step. Textualist judges should interpret the text of the Constitution, not simply in accordance with the original meaning of the text, but as judges at the time of the Founding would have read the text. While scholars and jurists have generally failed to recognize it, there was a substantial body of judicial review case law in the early republic and study of that case law reveals how courts originally read text. In exercising judicial review, early courts did not simply parse text. They deferred to the decisions of legislators except when 1) the statute implicated judicial power or the power of juries; or 2) a state statute undercut national power. In both categories one and two, courts aggressively reviewed statutes. Modern textualists on the Court protect state power and aggressively review congressional statutes, but a historically grounded textualism approach would lead to results that are the exact opposite. A proper textualism would strengthen the power of Congress generally as well increasing the power of state legislatures and Congress to, among other things, regulate gun usage without running afoul of the Second Amendment.
