i was rather hoping that the illusion did not take shape in the thread that all arguments concerning what is or is not "in the spirit of the constitution" entail some bizarre-o strict construction/original intent kinda posture.

the language is itself pretty standard ways of arguing.
the strict construction position is only one of a wide range of options that such language can be inserted into.

context. it kinda matters.
sheesh.
