    Who Perverted The General Welfare Clause?

    It's not a granting of power but a general statement of limitation on the enumerated powers that follow it.

    Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler

    FDR and Congress initiated the legislation of course, they then also threatened to pack the court to get the answer they wanted from the court, but ultimately the perversion of the General Welfare Clause rests squarely on the shoulders of Justice Cardozo.
