Montana see my edited section in ref 2 the Const.  As 4 any President's use of czars (Rep or Dem) as policy dept heads not ok'd by Cong I am against it.  I am a strict constructionalist.

A strict constructionist who supports the war in Iraq? Hmm...

It what way does the war in Iraq violate the constitution?

I never said it violated the Constitution; however, for a strict constructionist, a declaration of war would be required for military action. The US never declared war on Iraq. A strict cunstructionist is one who sticks to the words as they are written. Perhaps Halogamer intended to say that he was an originalist? I think he simply confused the terms. Even Justice Scalia, the archetypical Supreme Court Justice for conservatives, is highly critical of strict constructionism.

I would call John Adams someone who believed in the Constitution, being he wrote it. The first military action without a declaration of war, was when John Adams was president in 1798.

As for Van Jones, this is not a Victory. Sadly, he quit. A victory would be if somehow scum like this was not allowed to hold his office. He was, he just chose not to.

Fired, would have been a Victory.
