Textualism, as Antonin Scalia describes it, is inconsistent in its nature. While he first claims that a good textualist would never interpret the law with the legislator’s intent in mind, Scalia later violates his own convictions by allowing for corrections of Scrivener’s errors. In principle, correcting Scrivener’s errors requires the judge to think about what the original writer meant to say with the statute, not the literal meaning of the text. This may mean adding a single additional word to

One of the major reasons that preoperative communication is so important is to support informed consent. The practitioner’s role in this varies between NHS trusts, but in all situations the patient’s right to a choice in their treatment is sacrosanct.
