And please don't waste my time yammering about 'the general
welfare' clause - it ISN'T a delegation of authority, and has no
meaning, except for power-hungry mad-men and gullible fools...
Section. 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties,
Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common
Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties,
Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Like I said... this is NOT a specific delegation of authority...
Read the debates (Federalist, Anti-federalist, Elliots) on the
Constitution... this mention of 'general Welfare' doesn't mean ANYTHING
like what you seem to think it means... otherwise, what would be the
point of all of the specific delegations that follow?
