i suspected that at the core of strict construction was some version of luther's notion of reading through grace that by-passes interpretation.
it's a very protestant way of thinking.
seriously.
catholics dont think this way about scripture, which is the paradigm that's at play here.

but there's a way in which i like communing with the framers. i like the idea of a thomas jefferson finger puppet: you can stuff your index finger up its ass and then say: what do you think of THAT one, thomas? and the thomas jefferson finger puppet will say: what are you asking me for? the words are plain.

it'd be fun theater.

but as an approach to law, it's insanity.
