George W. Bush, in his announcement of Harriet Miers, mentioned something about having "constructionist judges."
Whoooooaaah. Now there's another qualification for judge: construction experience. Does Ms. Miers have any experience in construction work? For the life of me, I just can't see Harriet in a construction hat and wielding a jackhammer. Ok, the jackhammer part, I think I can see that part.
Now, President Bush is not looking for any ordinary constructionist. He wants a strict constructionist. What does that mean? He wants a loud-mouth bossy foreman type?
Bush then goes on to talk about his philosophy on SCOTUS judges. Is strict constructionist the type of judicial philosophy he's talking about? Why didn't he have this same philosophy on the head of FEMA?
