Abstract
In this essay I respond to the essay of Conor Casey and Adrian Vermeule's essay “Judge Rao's Unintentional Surrender: On the Augustan Settlement of Our Law,” The New Digest 1 (23 August 2023). Although I agree with their overall argument, I offer two suggestions to an explanation of the apparent surrender of Textualists to Classical Common Good Constitutionalism. Yet, I conclude with a warning that the apparent settlement may not be permanent.
Keywords: Natural Law, Common Good Constituionalism, Textualism
