This kind of voter fraud shows an ends-justify-the-means mentality. These extremists believe they are justified in doing almost anything because they know what is best for the rest of us.
Exactly. I’ve had a leftist tell me the Constitution says “provide the general welfare”. Knowing its a flat out lie.
What’s scary is this person is a teacher saying this lie.
The purpose of the public education system is to produce democrat voters. In the long term this ensures that the US will become a permanent one-party (democrat) country. Yet the GOP never even thinks to address this issue.
The general welfare clause exists only in the Preamble and in the taxing and Spending Clause.
In 1905, SCOTUS ruled that the clause in the preamble does not provide any substantive power to Congress (Jacobson vs. Massachusetts).
It is not a grant of legislative power (U.S. v. Butler, 1936), and is related only to the taxing powers.
There's a huge hole in even that line of reasoning: you cannot provide for general welfare
while causing harm to the people. (The high taxes, held out of people's paychecks does do harm; so does the incurrance of debt such that no child will ever be able to dream of living in a debt-free country.)
