The Key to Interpreting our Written Constitution

 We should hold to the line of the text of the Constitution. We should neither go below the line by subtraction from what it says, nor above the line by adding to the text.

In other words, as Justice Scalia used to say (and as I say all the time in class), "the Constitution says what it says, and it doesn't say what it doesn't say."
