it makes no sense to allow your strict construction position to run you in this direction on questions of social welfare.
at least with guns, i can see why you do it--but on this question--which i expect also extends in its basic logic to objections to national income taxation--you end up detaching from reality.

so some things have changed....so what? when you apply your living and fluid desire for adaptability by heavily reducing constraints applied to the government by legal doctrine, you end up with an even bigger mess than what you had before. Look at us since 1929 and you'll see why. When this country had a rigid legal doctrine to work with and follow, we saw a lot less controversy over the minutest of things, but nowadays we are inundated with trivial arguments brought before a judiciary who are expected to rule on ever changing things. What kind of societal consistance does one expect from that? How does anyone ever know where one stands on an issue? It's real simple, one doesn't know....until they've found themselves afoul of the government or a community because they offended someone. It's totally ridiculous.
