McCain is on arguing that we need more "strict constructionist" judges. According to wikipedia:

Antonin Scalia, the justice most identified with the term, has said that he is "not a strict constructionist and no-one ought to be,"[5] and has called the philosophy "a degraded form of textualism that brings the whole philosophy into disrepute." In contrast, he claims to look for the ordinary meaning of words, not their "strict" meaning.

And if strict constructionism is applied wouldn't that mean that we should get rid of governmental organizations like the IRS and Homeland Security that many people (including myself) consider to have powers beyond which the Constitution grants the federal government? I mean if I'm wrong and the Constitution grants the federal government the right to start organizations like that I'd like a conservative to tell me how/where. If I'm right then I'd like a conservative to tell me why a strict constructionist judge would then be a good thing since they would at least in theory overturn HS. I'd also like to know if you and/or McCain think that Scalia is wrong.
