1 Day Left - Obama Leads Nationally by 7%

Setting aside the political perspectives on individual issues, do you think it more likely that Obama's potential nominations to the Supreme Court will be constructionists, or judicial activists?

It seems much more likely to me that a key litmus test for any supreme court nominee that passes through nomination by Obama and approval by a Democratic senate will be that judges' willingness to expand the power of the federal government in interpreting the constitution.
