For the purposes of this discussion there is no need to read beyond the
first sentence. It's very clear.

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."

That is very instructive.

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

Let's re-arrange the sentence. "While some have referred to it as
evidence
of the origin, scope, and purpose of the Constitution, the preamble is
not a source of power for any department of the
Federal Government."

What is it about "not a source of power for any department of the
Federal Government" do you not understand?
