Let’s just take one of those. The Commerce Clause is why we have a nationwide free trade zone. It used to work until FDR manipulated the SCOTUS. Look up Lochner Era.

What we want is a vigorous Commerce Clause as it comes to restraint of trade by government via permitting, licensing and regulation. All those are restraint of trade issues at the state, county and local level.

The Court’s rulings on the Commerce Clause are a Progressive abuse of individual liberty. The Constitution worked and worked well until the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th Amendments. You won’t get rid of the 16th or the 19th. 18th is already undone, just undo the 17th and let nature take her course. The last time FedGov respected the Constitution was the 18th. Now they do what they want.

Fixing the problem has more to do with government school education/propaganda and the media, than with the Constitution.

They should have shot Wickard, and sent Filburn to Congress.
