McCain also vowed that if elected, he would appoint judges who "strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench."

This is clearly rhetoric of a constructionist. Do you even know what a constructionist is at this point? Look at the phrase in bold type!
Rhetoric is one thing; actions are another. If McCain really did do that, he'd be appointing judges who, given the chance, would declare his pet project, McCain-Feingold, unconstitutional. I don't see that as likely.
