My dear...don't pretend like I haven't run circles around you in the U.S. Constitution here. Everyone has seen it. And I'm sorry you find it embarrassing that you knew so little about that document (I really am). But your feelings don't change anything.No it doesn't sweetie - we've been through this before. Repeating a lie over and over doesn't make it any less of a lie.Because the U.S. Constitution makes defense the responsibility of the federal government. See how that works? Moron.Why don't you let the free market decide on North Korea?
as well as the general welfare....
thanks for playing
“Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action” - Thomas Jefferson (June 6, 1817)If only you weren't so astoundingly ignorant of the U.S. Constitution, our founders, and American history, uh Jills?...and declare to be most false and unfounded, the doctrine that the [Constitution], in authorizing its federal branch to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States, has given them thereby a power to do whatever they may think, or pretend, would promote the general welfare–which construction would make that of itself a complete government, without limitation of powers.… The plain sense and obvious meaning were that they might levy the taxes necessary to provide for the general welfare by the various acts of power therein specified and delegated to them, and by no others. – Thomas Jefferson (December 24, 1825)
if only you weren't. but as always it's adorable see you try to pretend you're not a moron.
*pats wackjob on head*
I have added two accurate, detailed, documented quotes from none other than Thomas Jefferson himself which permanently ends the absurd left-wing false-narrative.
