But how do you plan on doing what you suggest?

Unless you have a big majority clamoring for that it ain’t gonna happen.

It's easier to get a majority to vote to continue something that's already in place and popular, than it is to get them to dismantle something that is already in place.

So what you do is educate everyone on the fact that these programs are outside of the enumerated powers and a constitutional amendment is needed to restore proper authority and rule of law.

I didn't say it would be easy. But trying to restore enumerated powers without a plan to handle all the programs that would be affected is almost certainly doomed to defeat. You wouldn't be able to get a popular vote for it. And no judge would touch it.
