Preambles are not enforceable.

Obviously the preamble sheds light on what is constitutional and what is not.

It certainly has more constitutional weight than emanating penumbras.

Doesn't mean preambles are enforceable. Never have been. God help us if they ever do become enforceable.

They don't.

Bottom line: both penumbras and preambles are unenforceable. Keyes should stick to what he actually knows about.
