Get off your cross, we could use the wood.

If you think the constitution needs to be changed, put forth an ammendment for debate. If you don't like a law, vote to have it changed.

In the mean time arguing that we should not allow ourselves to be bound to the strick letter of the law while at the same time making appeals to "rule of law" makes you just as much if not more of a hypocrite than the strict constructionists you view with such disdain.
