The Reconstructionists want to act very much like a King when it comes to the U.S. Constitution. As I recall, we came to this country to relieve ourselves of the burdens imposed on the people by various European Kings, not the least of which was King George III of England.
All of the lands of the Earth, are already claimed by somebody. So there is no "New World" to escape to. If we want justice, accordingly to the Constitution, we have to adopt the Constitutionalists interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. To adopt the Reconstructionists point of view is the equivalent of returning to the law of the Kings.)
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court (1902-1932), declared that, "Theory is the most important part of the dogma of the law, as the architect is the most important man who takes part in the building of a house." The theories that Supreme Court justices espouse produce the egregious decisions and doctrines of Reconstructionist cases, including the Roe and Casey decisions which we have been analyzing for several months.
Talking Points
Reconstructionist constitutional theory diametrically opposes Constitutionalist constitutional theory; and we must understand these theories in order to evaluate adequately, not only judicial decisions, but the theories held by candidates in the 2008 elections. Questions of constitutional theories have permeated, not just American law, but American culture in general. Therefore, all patriots need at least a cursory understanding of the opposing constitutional theories in today's Culture War. Three very broad and fundamental issues divide Constitutionalists from Reconstructionists. We shall summarize the three issues and then offer a view of the advocates of each theory concerning these issues.
