Is it even a proper and Constitutional function of Congress to get involved in such things? Wouldn’t a better solution be to just GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY and obey the Constitution? Especially look up the Tenth Amendment... If there is no specific grant of authority, then there is NO authority. How hard would it be for our congresscritters to realize this simple fact?

how hard? Impossibly hard. They would have to give up power and stop torturing the Commerce Clause.

I agree but we lost a big chunk of our republic along time ago with the 17th ammendment. The weakest link to bring down this house of cards should be obvious by now. See my tagline.
