"an "orginalist" whatever that means I guess a "strict-constructionist""

Man-o-man... I'm getting quite a kick out of all these "terms of art!" With everybody in the liberal PC world (especially the MSM psychophants) hanging on every little sylabl, noun, verb and vowel for the slightest hint of something verboten... It's genuinely getting insane!!!

How 'bout... A Jurist who won't legislate and overturn the will of the people??? If we get another Earl Warren in there to replace ANY of the next three to go, we'll be just plain screwed!!!

The efforts we've all made to help "W" and the Republicans will have been wasted efforts and those little pissant Dem Senators will have superceded the will of the people in spades!!!

Well, if the "will of the people" is that a President should be elected to a 3rd term, or that everyone should turn in their guns, I'd prefer a Jurist who would enforce the Constitution as written. If the people feel that strongly about an issue in a way that is conflict with the Constitution, then they have the power to change it via the amendment process provided therein. Else why bother to have a written Constitution.
