According to this recent Yale Law Journal article, Oregon is not only unusual in it's approach to statutory interpretation, it is "unparalleled". The mainstream academic assumption is that it's impossible to judicially create a binding precedent for statutory interpretation based on textualism. To do so without a single dissenting vote in 16 years is apparently mind boggling. Who knew? It's just our law. It's interesting to see Oregon placed into the broader sea of possibilities as well as the academic discourse.
