“It states that We the People ordained and established it. It belongs to us, the people of the United States and our posterity”

The ACLU has some horrible ads during middle-of-the-night TV. They’re showing pics and videos of every diverse critter known to man, and the voice-over says, “’We the people’ means ALL the people.” It doesn’t. It means the citizens of the US.

Yes, the People of South America created the Constitution so they could emigrate en masse when the time best suited them.

And without the Preamble to document the who, how, and why, everyone is free to partisanly reinterpret the Constitution to fit their needs of the moment.

Imagine the Constitution as a bank check with the Preamble of We the People as the payee, the Signatories (the several States) as the signer, and the structure of the government and the rights of the people as the amount.

Now imagine it as a blank check with no payee and no signature, with just the contents to be given to anyone who claims it for themselves.

That's what we have without the Preamble.
