This interpretation has no logical basis. Even if the Commerce Clause grants the Federal government such broad powers, which it doesn’t, the Bill of Rights are amendments to the Constitution and as such they override anything in the original text.

Your argument assumes Progressives expect to follow the Constitution as if it is a contract.

Progressives see the Constitution as an obstacle to be overcome.
