Strict Constructionism

I realize that we're all supposed to think that the founding fathers were infallible and that their intent was completely noble and unbiased, but I think we shouldn't get so wrapped up in trying to read the minds of dead men that we forget to think for ourselves. Nor should we disguise our own agendas by claiming that they are the original intent. I think, indeed, we should try to act in the spirit of the founding fathers and take care of freedom and liberty and the best interests of American citizens, but we need to avoid reading more meaning into things than is or was ever there.
