so the set up appears to be:

"liberals" tend to see the constitutional system rather than the constitution.
"liberals" probably won't like this latest neo-fascist anti-migrant law.

"strict constructionists" tend to see the constitution rather than a constitutional system.

and the operative premise:

this az nonsense wouldn't have happened under strict construction premises.

permutation:

"liberals" might find this situation one in which they could see strict construction as offering them protections against the same thing that conservative strict constructionists do...namely laws they don't like.

problem is that there's any number of ways to frame the az situation and its not obvious that strict construction is relevant. except insofar as it's relevant for you personally when you think about this kind of thing. but is there a reason beyond that to import this interpretive framework into this issue?

could you explain that more please?
