i don't find anything about strict construction arguments to be relevant here.
seriously--for them to have any meaning except as (again) an aesthetic matter (peanut butter again)--there would have to have already been a basic change in how the existing constitutional system actually operates. and there hasn't been.
but it's nice that you have some nostalgic take on the constitution as you imagine it was written and functioned in some 18th century world that's long disappeared, and it's your privelege to indulge that nostalgia, just as it's mine to listen to the sons of the pioneers to hear that manly man cowpoke roy rogers yodel. yippee yi kai yay.
