I should have known it would be the Commerce Clause. And they quote one of the worst Supreme Court cases ever. Filburn was a small farmer in Ohio who grew more wheat than he was permitted to under FDR's rules. He argued that he used the wheat to feed animals on his farm and wasn't covered by the commerce clause.
If I was able to sneak into the national archives with a quill pen and a bottle of white out, the top changes I would make to the Constitution would be:
1. Remove the commerce clause.
2. Eliminate the 16th amendment.
3. Remove the militia clause from the 2nd amendment. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
4. Eliminate the 17th amendment. States controlling their senators would provide more protection to the states than directly elected senators.
The farmer in question, Wilburn, made a choice to sign up for the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which among other things, paid farmers to only grow certain amounts of crops and livestock.
Like was stated on an earlier thread, you can't have the bacon without the squeal. It was not a good case, but noone put a gun to Wilburn's head and made him sign up in federal government's agricultural program. If he had not, he could have grown all the wheat he wanted and the Feds could not have done a darn thing about it.
Eliminate every Amendment after the 15th.

Need a getaway car? Though you'll a big bottle of white out with the long winded laws as they written.
