I'm going to skip your outrageous diatribe about what the Tea Party or Michelle Bachmann would advocate, and we're going to talk about "general welfare" and what it means, according to the man who wrote it. You see, dimwit, the Founding Fathers debated the entire Constitution for years, mostly through a series of papers known as the Federalist Papers. In Federalist 41, Madison explains the "general welfare" clause:
For what purpose could the enumeration of particular powers be inserted, if these and all others were meant to be included in the preceding general power? Nothing is more natural nor common than first to use a general phrase, and then to explain and qualify it by a recital of particulars. But the idea of an enumeration of particulars which neither explain nor qualify the general meaning, and can have no other effect than to confound and mislead, is an absurdity, which, as we are reduced to the dilemma of charging either on the authors of the objection or on the authors of the Constitution, we must take the liberty of supposing, had not its origin with the latter....But what would have been thought of that assembly, if, attaching themselves to these general expressions, and disregarding the specifications which ascertain and limit their import, they had exercised an unlimited power of providing for the common defense and general welfare?
Since he is using language and parlance of the late 1700s, it is somewhat difficult to follow, but he is clearly saying the "general welfare" phrase, is followed by a specific enumeration to which it applies. Furthermore, he concludes you would have to be an absolute idiot to assume it means what Democrats currently claim it means.
The SCOTUS has also upheld that black people were not citizens, but property, owned by their masters. It seems to me, the SCOTUS and what they may have ruled, is not the best barometer for what is intended in the Constitution.
The Constitution does not mention gay marriage, or perverting religious traditions and customs for the sake of legitimizing a sexual lifestyle preference. It does say that you can't infringe on the right of religious exercise. The Constitution protects a right which no gay person is being denied, to my knowledge, a gay person has never been denied the right to enter into marriage with a person of the opposite sex, which is what marriage is, and this is the same right enjoyed by all.
It does neither. Sorry.
There is only ONE United States Income Tax Code. It applies to every person earning income in America, there are no exceptions, and no separate code which is applied to wealthy people. You are delusional.
Whether it's "under the guise" or not, the people have a right to maintain the integrity of the electorate and ensure the voters are legitimate. Pretty much everything you listed, falls into that category, so as usual, you are totally full of shit.
Since Roe v. Wade, abortion has been legal in the US. There is nothing in the Constitution which grants any authority either way on abortion, that was why there was a SCOTUS case, Roe v. Wade, I mentioned it earlier. Many people believe the SCOTUS got it wrong, and will one day find that the fetus is a human being, protected under the first amendment which guarantees a right to life. But for now, there is nowhere in the US, where a ban has been instituted. In this instance, you are not only wrong, you are just flat out lying through your shit stained teeth about it.
Again, we can go to the Federalist Papers and find the "commerce clause" has been perverted from its original intent. This is why Constitutional Conservatives are upset with the power grab Obama has made, regarding nationalized health care.
In essence, your entire argument here is based on your totally false understandings and misconceptions of the Constitution. You want to stomp in the room and lay the law down, and insist you are the final arbiter on what is and isn't intended in the Constitution, and you just aren't. In fact, you are about the most clueless person on the planet, because you haven't bothered to read the Federalist Papers or try and understand what was envisioned. The Constitution lays the groundwork for a very LIMITED central government, with very LIMITED power, and most everything left to the people and the states. You see, while they were debating and arguing about a Constitution, the #1 biggest main concern the people of America had, was a fear of a tyrant government stealing their freedoms. So when these open-ended phrases came up in discussion, like "general welfare" or "common good" etc., people naturally wanted some clarification on just what the hell that meant, and the founders painstakingly explained it. As Madison so aptly put it, it would be silly and foolish to think that the general welfare clause granted Congress the authority to do anything it damn well pleased in the name of "general welfare." IF that had been the original intent, there would have been no need for a Constitution. We could have simply said, Congress has the power to do whatever they want, as long as it's for what they determine is our general welfare... does that make any logical sense at all to you?
