It would be OK to repeal it," Rudy said, then quickly added, "It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent"

And there you have it. Rudy's idea of a "constructionist" is one who values precedent over original intent.

His problem is that "constructionism" MEANS according to original intent in how the law was constructed. Rudy has twisted it into its opposite in order to preserve and build upon the historic and constitutionally unsupportable gains of the left via the courts.

Anybody dumb enough to have believed this weasely thug should have their noses rubbed in this quote good and hard. It's a priceless mistake.

Believe it or not, this is at least the second time Rudy has said this. After he said it the first time in an interview about a month ago, every time a Rudy booster said Rudy would appoint strict constructionist judges, I reminded them of this quote. Repeatedly.

And in almost all cases, what happened? Nothing. On the very next thread they would be once again saying Rudy would appoint strict constructionist judges.

Which means the ignorance of the hard core Rudy boosters is not accidental. But instead is deliberate. And you cannot cure that kind of ignorance. Just belittle it every chance you get.
