Anything that the Constitution does not specifically say that Congress can do is constitutionally prohibited.

That's your interpretation of the Constitution - the favored position of the Constitution-opposing anti-Federalists.

But you would have to be one of those dreaded Constitutionalists to know that.

Yet another example of the lauaghable claim made by Constitution-opposing anti-Federalists that they are somehow the only true friends of the Constitution.

You do not dictate how the Constitution operates.

So you favor interpreting the Constitution to suit YOUR wants... kinda like the Left Loonies, right? Just because the Constitution clearly states that fedgov doesn’t HAVE any authority that is not specified in the Constitution doesn’t mean anything unless it agrees with what YOU want... if that’s how you feel, come on out and say so. Join socialist democrat Ellen Tauscher when she talked about the Constitution being like her old blue dress (what IS it about you liberals and blue dresses, anyway???), which fit her once but no more and needs to be thrown away... or so radically altered as to be unrecognizable to anyone anymore.
