Nourse convinces that America s judges, law professors, and lawyers know perilously little about the most important branch of government the United States Congress and spells out the consequences this gap in our collective knowledge have for governance. Helping to fill that gap, this accessible book takes on those who practice petty textualism while offering an approach to statutory interpretation that is both more professionally satisfying and consistent with our representative democracy. Brava!--William N. Eskridge, Jr., Yale Law School
