The GOP Factions and “Common Good Constitutionalism”

Here is where the four factions would stand on “common good constitutionalism”:

1. CLs: The horror! The horror! This is almost as bad as socialism! America was built on individual rights and limited government–take your theocracy back to Europe and the 16th century!

2. PBPs: Ugh! We’re indifferent about the social conservatism, but the intense regulation of business and the wealthy for the benefit of workers–forget it!

3. Reactionaries: Most of this is fine with us, but it doesn’t recognize the difference between real Americans and everyone else. The absence of racism is a problem.

4. CDs: This is our agenda to the point that it goes way beyond our wildest dreams. We would love to see America turn into an updated version of the Holy Roman Empire, but is that at all realistic?
