Question:
1. In Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, who wrote the majority opinion and who joined? Who wrote a dissenting opinion and, if applicable, who joined? (To receive credit, you must note down the name of every justice.)
2. Your book has a chapter titled "Activists and Strict Constructionists." What judicial philosophy is reflected in this majority opinion?
3. On Page 3 of his dissent, Justice Alito writes: "The Court's opinion is like a pirate ship. It sails under a textualist flag, but what it really represents is a theory of statutory interpretation that Justice Scalia excoriatedthe theory that courts should "update" old statutes so that they better reflect the current values of society." Based on this, the majority opinion, and the National Law Journal article, what do you think it means to be a "textualist"?
