"Don't you think it's your claim that the Founders- all the Founders in this case- didn't know what the Constitution meant that needs to be defended?

A living constitutionalist wouldn't of course."

You made a very specific claim that the Congress is authorized to spend in these areas. You have been asked repeatedly to show the SPECIFIC ENUMERATED POWER that authorizes it. We know Congress has abused it's power in the past, but precedent alone does not prove your assertion. So, instead of calling names, please show us chapter and verse for your claim or retract it and apologize.

You make the claim that all the Founders were wrong.

Come on, give me a laugh, back it up instead of relying on your "living constitution" theory.
