From an event Monday night in the St. Louis area, hosted by Sen. McCaskill’s staff, h/t Jake Wagman …
Agree or disagree with him (and I’m much more in the latter camp than the former), you have to admire this young man’s focus, stage presence, and ability to electrify a crowd. (Move over, Sarah Palin. Oh wait … she already did.)
Picking up on one of this young man’s points: Can anyone provide links to the sources wherein Jefferson, Madison, and/or Franklin argued that the “general welfare” clause should be limited to the enumerated powers of Congress in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution? I assume Madison made such an argument in one of the Federalist Papers, though for the life of me I can’t remember which one. I’ll research this later, to refresh my ailing memory. In the meantime, any and all help the tireless TMV crowd can provide would be appreciated.
