Bridge Player;

I would like to see McCain make the case to the American public that we need SC justices who value the constitution.

Yes, but of course the Constitution is viewed differently depending on your idealology. Gerard said he wanted to see the SC justices that "value" human rights over corporate rights. I agree with Gerard. Given the attention to the individual in the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights, it is hard to imagine that the founders ever imagined a corporation as having rights - which they increasingly do. That is not a comforting trend whether a person is on the left or right.

They all do. But they differ on the appropriate way to interpret it. Scalia's fundamentalist approach is simply a different way to justify his own judicial philosophy. So the debate is actually about a variety of interpretive philosophies sometimes couched as judicial philosophies.
