[SC Swamp Fox]

If he's going to be on the SC, we need to know these things.

No, we don't. His opinion on these matters is irrelevant if the justice is not trying to make new laws like the liberals ones have done.

So we don't need to know how he views the 2nd Amendment before we put him on the bench? I guess we should just trust him.

Cetainly true, but a conservative political view TENDS to produce strict constructionism.....look at Scalia, who Bush at least claims will be his model for a justice. Being conservative would instill more confidence that he is not a fake strict constructionist, but a true one.
