How does a pandering, African Education pork-barrel proposal "promote the general welfare" or "provide for the common defense" of American Citizens and Sovereignty?
You are taking a page from the Leftists when you promote this type of anti-Constitutional overreach. The Welfare and Commerce Clauses in particular have been stretched and abused beyond all recognition to steal rights and power from the "we the people" and invest it in the federal government, to its corruption.
It's whoredom to sell our Constitution so cheaply.
Sooner or later a Democrat is going to be President again, and he or she will be up to all kinds of unconstitutional mischief, some of it based on precedents affirmed by this nonsense of Bush's that you keep defending.
And you're gonna wonder, "How can they get away with it?"
Because people like you told them they could, when you all found it convenient to pimp the Constitution for a President you happened to like.
