When the facts fail you,...

Facts fail? How?

...make up rules.

Made up? It's right in Article IV, pure and simple. It says Congress may prescribe rules for states to prove their acts and the effects thereof.

You'd make a great liberal activist judge.

Citing Article IV is liberal activism? LOL

No, waiting until a state acts, then deciding the method.

By your interpretation of the Fourth Article, essentially everything the states do is subject to Congressional approval or action because everything the states do has an effect, however large or small. This flies in the face of the Tenth Amendment.
