"LOL! You, sir, are living in a fantasy land. Kindly name one, just one case that has bee brought before the SCOTUS that has prevailed citing the preamble to the Constitution as the sole basis for their argument. Please be specific."

Your idiotic reasonic is as nonsensical as you are. Are you claiming that every jot and tittle of the rest of the Constitution has been brought before the Supreme Court? If not, then by your own reasoning those parts that have not been brought before the Supreme Court are not law.

Remember, your the one that is the sea lawyer here. What I do know is that the Preamble to the Constitution lays out the basics of why "We the People" felt the need to form the federal government. It lays out the basic reasoning for it's existence. One of the reasons that the Federal government is in existence is to "provide for the common defense". This function can't be done by a single person and it can't be done by one state or even several states. It can only be done by the combined United States. Therefore, "We the People" have granted the federal government the authority to "provide for the common defense".

There, class is dismissed sea lawyer! BTW, I notice that you never bothered to answer all the other things I said. Nice sidestep....

No, not at all. You are the one that said the preamble to the Consitution is law. I'm just trying to get you to cite case law that supports your claim. I know the preamble isn't law, but you obviously think it is. I'm just trying to get you to learn something you quite obviously are clueless about. If you don't (can't) do it, that's fine. I'm not an attorney. I'm an engineer. I am quite familiar with the Constitution even though it is not in my specific area of expertise. I'm also very familiar with the Federalist Papers. I understand the intent of the law, too.

I've not tried to insult you in any way, yet you keep on name calling and making veiled attempts to insult me. You keep doing that all you want. Your posts are just an incoherent group of text on my screen. Your opinions are meaningless. Cite the case law that supports your opinion or drop it. Your continued attempts to insult me are just more proof you've lost the debate......

BTW, I'm not sidestepping anything. I don't bother answering your questions because they are just distractions from the original question of whether the preamble to the Constitution is law. When you cite the case law that supports your claim that it is law I will be happy to answer all of your questions to the best of my ability. Got it?
