The Preamble: It Conveys No Powers


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Apparently the Congress is deluded. (Not too surprising really given the way they've been acting of late.) They seem to think that the preamble conveys powers when in fact the main body of the Constitution clearly says that only enumerated powers are conveyed. It's clearly time to hold the government to the fire. They all take an oath to uphold the Constitution. It's fairly clear that a large number of them think that is not a real obligation including the president and the majority of both houses of the congress.
