I am a Jeffersonian Constitutionalist.
That philosophy is summed up by this statement from Thomas Jefferson on interpreting the Constitution.
"On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debate (federalist papers) and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
