What kind of Republican is Steve Bannon, anyway? – The Boston Globe

I think we need to pay attention to what Steve Bannon means by deconstructing the government (Bannon: Trump administration is in unending battle for deconstruction of the administrative state, Nation, Feb. 24). Conservative Republicans have always pushed for less government, but always in a framework that respects the priority of the actual words of the Constitution. Deconstruction in literature and philosophy asserts that a piece of writing does not have just one meaning and that the actual meaning depends on the reader. Bannon wants to be the person who interprets that meaning. He wants to be the reader. This flies in the face of the usual Republican philosophy of strict constructionism and leads to a situation where anything can be legal as long as the current administration interprets it that way. It means the end of a nation of laws, not men.
