This is the strong version of strict constructionism. The Constitution is a Progressive document. Don't let them steal it ever again.

5. Conservatives use the term strict constructionism like they have the
market cornered. The judgement in the wiretapping case is telling them they are in fantasyland and that all things governmental even during war time must be constructed out of the cloth of the constituion, not a kings head.

I just wanted to point out that I'd be edited my orginal post to add that bit because it seems that when the rightwing go on the attack in the coming weeks, they will go after this judge with the "activist" meme. She articulated in her decision precisely what they think they mean, when in point of fact they are really playing King.
