express powers have precedence over any implied powers.we have to quibble for due diligence purposes.You have declared many dozens of times right here on USMB that the “General Welfare” clause grants the federal government unlimited power so long as they deem their actions to be “in the general welfare”. Well snowflake, our elected leaders have decided that it is most definitely in the general welfare to build a wall, engage in general warfare, and go on the common offense.We have a general welfare clause not a general warfare clause.
You can’t have it both ways, ignorant little fragile snowflake. You can’t insist that the general welfare clause grants broad, unlimited powers and then simultaneously declare that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t grant the actions you whine about.
We have a general welfare clause not a general warfare clause or a general defense clause.
why resort to implied powers when express powers cover all contingencies.
Because they don't.
