Regulating 'mental activity': the commerce clause as thought monitor

Regulating 'mental activity': the commerce clause as thought monitor

quite incredible judgment, really is - this is what results from the intellectual bastardy of the "living constitution" concept, essentially a license for "we'll make it up as we go along", or in other words, our right to rule (yep, I know how it sounds!) and maintain hierarchy by coercion IS the point of the constitution, not minarchy itself, federality itself, individual liberty itself, sound currency itself, etc... so it cannot be read like it was meant by rich, white, gentlemen of the 18th century, it must be read according to the current pleasure of rich, white gentlemen of today... we've got this state-ordered step-laddered caste society going on in which social and economic mobility is shrinking at alarming speed, and having to keep twisting the constitution around to fit these strategies is no doubt proving a great annoyance and frustration for the elites...

the "general welfare" clause is the other one, just incredible abuse, really - the word "general" has been completely weaselled of its' profound import, as practically every idea proposed is "special welfare" instead, attempts to justify wealth redistribution in violation of the principle that all taxes apply equally to all - where is the egalitarian passion for equality in the sense Jefferson actually used it? ah yes, the egalitarian passion is for clinging to state power under every manner of bankrupt saintly pretext
