> Therefore, any law can be written to take away a “fundamental right” so long as the elites regard it as furthering an “objective of general interest” or to give special rights to certain groups.

The “general welfare clause” is used in exactly the same way - it essentially invalidates the rest of the Constitution.

The liberals do that falsely, deliberately misinterpreting “general welfare” as “social welfare”.

The phrase “general welfare” in the preamble and in Article 1 Section 8 does not nullify the rest of the Constitution at all, in fact; that is why the progressives came up with the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments, which does that to a great degree.
