"We the people of the United States, ... promote the general welfare, ... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ..."

Yes, as if the Preamble, or the general welfare clause, supersedes the whole of the Constitution (*LIMITED* govt).

They’ve used a few choice clauses to obliterate the meaning of the document, nullifying any/all other conflicting Amendments and clauses: Welfare, which conflicts w/ 4th/5th/13th.

Used to be any/all in conflict were null/void. Course, that was when we still had a Constitutional Republic.

Promote does not mean provide.

They seem to miss that.
