Maybe, but it turns the idea of a government of limited, enumerated powers upside down and establishes the precedent of a goverment of limited, enumerated restrictions. It would become incumbent on the States to explicitly reserve for themselves whatever power they didn't want the federal government to assume.

Since it is pretty obvious that the enumerated powers thing is capable of being interpreted into ever more powers, what do you propose?
