"It is now time to stop such infringements of our individual rights of life, liberty & property."

That's why FR exist. Have any ideas how this should happen?

It may be "spelled out nicely" but findlaws conclusion is nevertheless faulty reasoning, as it's writer inadvertently admits, here:

"The power has been exercised to enforce majority conceptions of morality, to ban racial discrimination in public accommodations, and to protect the public against evils both natural and contrived by people. The power to regulate interstate commerce is, therefore, rightly regarded as the most potent grant of authority in Sec. 8."

Yes indeed, -- "the power" has been exercised [read misused] to enforce "majority conceptions of morality" & to protect us from contrived "evil" -- in the past.
Not "rightly", but that is how it was used.

It is now time to stop such infringements of our individual rights to life, liberty & property. The commerce clause is being used to rule the USA by a 'democratic' tyranny of the majority.

That's why FR exist. Have any ideas how this should happen?

Sure. -- We could start by disbarring all the smartaleck lawyers who violate their oaths to support the Constitution's principles as written.
Then we could start impeaching all the politicians who do the same.
