I prefer to rely upon our founding fathers meaning of the necessary and proper clause as stated during the Ratification debates, which is in compliance with the most fundamental rule of constitutional law ____ enforcing the intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was adopted.

“The fundamental principle of constitutional construction is that effect must be given to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopting it. This is the polestar in the construction of constitutions, all other principles of construction are only rules or guides to aid in the determination of the intention of the constitution’s framers.”--- numerous citations omitted, Vol.16 American Jurisprudence, 2d Constitutional law (1992 edition), pages 418-19, Par. 92. Intent of framers and adopters as controlling

The constitution is the act of the people speaking in their original character, and there can he no doubt on the point with us, that every act of the legislative power, contrary to the true intent and meaning of the constitution, is absolutely null and void.”(my emphasis) Chancellor James Kent, in his Commentaries on American Law (1858)

What makes you think the author of “Restoring the Lost Constitution” would ignore the Framers?
