Strict Constructionist to Supreme Court? It's about time!

I had been feeling rather down at the state of our government. It seemed to me that it was out of control, adding new ways to encroach on citizens' privacy and freedoms daily.
At last, some good news! I hear that the president nominated, and now the Senate has confirmed, a "strict constructionist" to be associate justice on the Supreme Court. Now I know that such a judge, having strong determination to follow the "original intent" that produced the Constitution and its crowning glory, the Bill of Rights, will be an astute student of history. He will know that probably the most contentious and long-debated portion of those documents was the composition and powers of the Executive Branch, that far-sighted men feared this branch the most, that they thought an unchecked and unscrupulous president would overwhelm the power of the other branches, direct power and money to his cronies, involve the nation in unnecessary wars - well, at least we know their fears were groundless on that point - and threaten the independence of the states and the rights and privacy of all citizens.
I feel better just knowing that Samuel Alito will be a fierce watchdog to protect my Fourth Amendment Rights, to rein in the formerly out-of-control president and Executive Branch Agencies, to keep Congress from establishing Biblical Literalism and ignorance - along with selfishness and greed - as the state religion. I look forward to his first decisions on the critical issues of war and peace, personal freedom, and protection of the public from the overwhelming power and cronyism of vested interests that wait to be settled during this Supreme Court session.
