The author left out the part of the Preamble that states "... provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare...."

It seems that our so-called leaders have actually gotten that backwards: They're more interested in providing for the general welfare and are only promoting the common defense with words... not actions.

So what happens if the states demonstrate that the federal government is in breach of the contract that the states signed when they joined the union, a la Arizona and the fed refusal to honor their contract to protect the states against invasion? Is that part of the argument being used in court for the federal lawsuit against Arizona?
