Conservatives and the Constitution

Conservatives say they believe in a "strict construction" interpretation of the Constitution. We must not read into the document things that are not there. Ok, then, how do they arrive at the decision that a corporation-like GM or MobilExxon-is an individual and thus covered by the first Amendment free speech protection? That sounds like a "loose construction" interpretation to me. These same folks will also say that there is nothing in the Constitution that gives Congress the power to regulate health care; a "strict construction" interpretation.

I wish they would make up their minds about the document. But to do so they have to read it first
