I concur that the Feds have probably overstepped the authority of the States on too many an occasion, but asserting the absolute premise that Federal government should have no jurisdiction over crimes other than counterfeiting, treason and piracy is just an extremist position. (Also not very realistic.)

Why, exactly, should the federal government have any more jurisdiction than the Constitution authorizes? (And if you think it “extremist,” recall that THIS IS WHAT THE FOUNDERS DECIDED, not me.)
