I have. I don't resort to fallacy, like the right wing. I am not infidel, protestant, or renegade to the federal doctrine, unlike the right wing.Yes, the general welfare is Constitutional the general warfare is not. Only the right wing, never gets it.National Defense IS a Constitutional expenditure. It does need to be reigned in to a certain degree as much of it goes to defend places other thsn the US, but ddfense spend g I. General is at least Constitutional.
Please read the U.S. Constitution. Your ignorance of the document is embarrassing.
There is no general warfare clause. There is a general welfare clause.
Both affect, Individuals.
Dear danielpalos
1. the general welfare does not specify health care
Healthcare reform does promote the general welfare; providing for the general welfare is a Power delegated to Congress, for that Purpose.
1. That's your interpretation but it's not specified by that law.
Other people have equal right as you do to say they agree with general welfare
but not with federal health care. For example danielpalos
conservative believers can argue it's better for general welfare to protect
free market health care from manipulation by EITHER corporations or by politicians in govt!
So that interpretation of "general welfare" could mean
govt protecting EQUAL CHOICE of funding EITHER public/govt health care
and choosing that, OR funding free market health care and choosing THAT.
So your interpretation of general welfare meaning govt health care only
covers half as much as people who interpret
general welfare to mean protecting free market health care AND the
choice of govt health care, not just imposing yours as the only choice.
2. you still haven't addressed the part of the constitutional
laws that ALSO INCLUDES not depriving citizens of liberty without due process.
danielpalos do you agree that both are in the same Constitutional laws?
a. both general welfare
b. and protecting individual liberty or free choice of people
where these are NOT deprived without due process of laws
That's fine if you want to pass laws that address A
but the laws can't violate B or that's still violating Constitutional laws elsewhere
does that make sense to you?
I already compared it to Roe V Wade.
It was ONE thing to want to protect against harm by barring abortion.
But the laws criminalizing this could NOT be justified or enforced
because they violated DUE PROCESS of individuals.
another example:
laws that allow people free speech and free exercise of religion
can't be abused to where protestors at clinics or funerals
OBSTRUCT and ABRIDGE the right of people
Peaceably to assemble
So this is another example of how you can't enforce one
law in a way that violates another constitutional law or principle
Do these two examples help?
