what i've noted in passing before about dk's strict construction viewpoint has now come back up again---what the position really is amounts to a radical reinterpretation of the status of the constitution and the rejection of the entire idea of the common law tradition. what dk is arguing for is a civil law approach. that's fundamentally different. that he makes his argument for an overthrowing of the entire american constitutional system in the name of protecting the consitution is, as it has been, surreal.
