Common Defense now means we can set up Nations on foreign shores if we "deem it necessary"?

Since the dawn of recorded history, shaping the future form of government of a defeated enemy so that enemy does not rise against you or your children or grandchildren in the future once again has been a part of the "spoils of war".

You really ought to read more History. It will do you good.

Talking about your "penumbra's and emanations". You absolutely tortured the English language and common sense to come up with that.

While linking abortion with anything that any drafter of an 18th Century or 19th Century Constitutional amendment ever drafted is a torture of the English language, exercising the victor's rights to the "spoils of war" fits the description of the term "common defense" only if you are totally ignorant of History, which you seem to be.

A shooting war is nothing more than "politics by other means". Shaping the future government of a future enemy is nothing more than a political preemptive strike to avoid future shooting wars.

Then pass an Amendment. As it was, the Founders were quite clear on such things. Anything less is pi$$ing on the Constitution and we get quite enough of that from the Democrats. No need for the GOP to follow suit.
