anyone with a shred of intelligence should realize that 'general welfare' does not mean 35 people on an island. Anyone with a decent and logical intellect should know that 'general welfare' means something that benefits the country as a whole.

You dont get to decide what is legal and what makes upstanding a law-abiding American.....until you're on the Supreme Court,  |
I'm plainly reading the constitution, unlike alot of other people on here who's only experience and knowledge of constitutional law exists from the start of new deal socialism from 1934. This includes the courts. They've been flat wrong on damn near everything since that year. The problem lies with people like you who've either been duped in to believing that the USSC knows all that the founders were thinking 200+ years ago or have been indoctrinated by the socialist mindset.
I repeat, anyone with a shred of intelligence can read the constitution and clearly understand what powers the government has and what it does not....anyone else is willfully torturing the interpretation to suit their own wants.
