re: #270 Higgs Boson’s Mate
Strict constructionists strike me as being followers of a conservative religion. They alone understand the intent of the Founders. Oddly enough, the intent of the Founders is always completely in agreement with the views of the constructionist. It’s a gift. They ignore the reality that some of the words and phrases used in the Constitution often had very specific and commonly understood meanings at the time and that they no longer hold those deeper meanings for us.
It’s no accident that strict constructionists and theocracy advocates are both found on the same end of the political spectrum.
Yeah I am not surprised at all that there is a lot of intersection there. Same mindset.
