Deze auteur staat bekend om zijn strenge benadering van juridische interpretatie, waarbij hij krachtig pleit voor textualisme in wetten en originalisme in constitutioneel recht. Zijn rechterlijke filosofie benadrukt strikte naleving van de oorspronkelijke betekenis van wetten en de Grondwet, in de overtuiging dat interpretatie niet mag worden beïnvloed door maatschappelijke veranderingen. Deze principestroste houding vormde zijn carrière en beïnvloedt nog steeds het juridische discours. Lezers zullen zijn scherpe, analytische stijl waarderen, gericht op fundamentele rechtsbeginselen.
