O.K. here we go again. I humbly submit the following:

Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Congress has the power to provide for the common welfare of the United States.

and...
Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects.

I do believe that section two of the Constitution contains the word ALL, as in, every one of the cases in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States.

Congress passes laws for the general welfare of the United States. The Judicial powers extend to the laws of the United States.

I know the next argument. It's not what the frames MEANT, then we talk about what they meant, and then we argue that it's what is written...blah..blah..blah.

I can read. The framers are dead. It is our interpretation of this document that counts. Right now, the current majority is that Radar is wrong. Hence, we have a large body of immigration law. Laws of the United States which according to the Constitution can plainly be decided upon by the Judiciary, or as we call them The Supreme Court.
