Strict constructionists: we're strict constructionists until we're not.
We believe that the Constitution says what it says.
But the Constitution only says what it says until this interpretation takes away or doesn't allow something we want.
Then we'll decide what the Constitution means.
Isn't that the criticism of those who don't fall in the strict constructionist camp?
(what's the opposite of a strict constructionist/originalist/textualist? oh, judicial activist. what, no middle ground?)
