Read a random definition: confidential adoption

A quick definition of Welfare Clause:

Welfare Clause: This is a part of the United States Constitution that gives Congress the power to collect taxes and pay debts to help the country's general welfare. This means that Congress can create programs like social security to help people. The Supreme Court has said that this clause is very important and can be used to help many different things.

A more thorough explanation:

The Welfare Clause, also known as the General Welfare Clause, is a part of the United States Constitution. It is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 1. This clause gives Congress the power to collect taxes and pay debts in order to provide for the general welfare of the country.

The Supreme Court has interpreted this clause broadly, allowing Congress to create programs like Social Security that benefit the general welfare of the people. This means that Congress can use tax money to fund programs that help people in need, such as healthcare, education, and housing.

For example, the Social Security system is a program created by Congress that provides financial assistance to retired and disabled individuals. This program is funded by taxes collected from working individuals and their employers. The program helps to ensure that people who are unable to work or have retired have a source of income to support themselves.

The Welfare Clause is an important part of the Constitution because it allows Congress to provide for the general welfare of the people. This means that the government can use tax money to fund programs that benefit society as a whole, rather than just a select few.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
