Why pretend that the interstate commerce clause authorizes controlling "substances"? I'm not pretending. That's the law.

No, it's the whimsical, arbitrary, unaccountable ruling of the SCOTUS. That doesn't mean goons with MP-5s won't enforce that. It just means that when they do, they're enforcing the edicts of tyrants.

Article 3 gives the SCOTUS the power to interpret the law.

So says the SCOTUS. How ... convenient.

Actually, the people could pass an amendment saying NAY anytime they want.

ROFL!!!!

I say it all the time.

Good. Keep it up.

But see, they didn't predict that the Constitution would be violated.

If so, then they were wrong. It's violated routinely. Drug laws are a prime example.

They predicted that the Constitution ALLOWED such expanding power.

That's the least of its flaws.

the antifederalists argued that the Constitution was a horribly flawed document that should have been rejected on the grounds that it granted virtually unbounded power to the national government.

I don't agree. The Constitution does not grant such powers. It's worse than that. The Constitution offers absolutely no way to prevent the national government seizing powers it was not granted.

You contradict yourself. Why is it good to say the antifeds were right when you disagree with them? Makes no sense. It’s because you’re trying to square the circle.
