Nothing needs clarification. That cute phrase is to explain the purpose of
the constitution. It has ZERO weight.

In fact, if any imbiciles think the intro to the constitution is
meaningful,
they probably read the ramblings on the walls of outhouses with serious
introspection also.


You are completely wrong. Here's the link.

The first sentence of the Purpose and Effect of the Preamble is as follows.
Yes, it's very clear.

"Although the preamble is not a source of power for any department of the
Federal Government, the Supreme Court has often referred to it as evidence
of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution."

"Although the preamble *is not a source of power* for any department
of the
Federal Government..."

Try finishing the sentence... I think it's pretty clear that you're pretty
wrong. Why not admit it.

Here is the first sentence in it's entirety. Notice the period at the end.

What's that got to do with the discussion of general welfare? If you're
talking about Bush v. Gore, it would be the Supreme Court.
