OIFVeteran to Kalamata: "Luckily Lincoln wasn’t using the general welfare clause when he was suppressing the rebellion.
He was using the authority given to him by congress when they passed the militia act of 1792”

Kalamata: "Baloney."

And so we see the mind of a Democrat at work in Kalamata's response -- faced with an unbreakable argument he just handwaves it away as "baloney".
Nothing else is needed here, Democrats continue to pretend only their own fantasies matter.

By the way, the 1792 Militia Act, singed by President Washington and used in the Whiskey Rebellion, was enhanced in the 1807 Insurrection Act signed by President Jefferson and still in effect today.
