Would you include the National Park systems, women’s suffrage, the rise of the auto and the suburbs, and workplace issues such as hours and safety as “that garbage”?

They’re all part and parcel of the US during that period. You’d have to dump them too, if you want to roll back the clock.

To: worst-case scenario

Like I said, I haven’t gotten into the nitty gritty. National Park systems “seem” like a good idea, but I’m wont to err on the said of caution and say that it’s not an enumerated power. Women’s suffrage, that goes without saying that needs to stay in place.

Not sure what you mean by the rise of the auto? What laws are in place to regulate automobiles that are so egregious?

And workplace issues are another one that goes without saying.

I said in a previous post that my primary concerns were private property rights, 2A rights, and individual freedoms. I just want the government out of my life. The Federal government’s primary responsibility is to protect the country by maintaining an Army during times of conflict. That’s my understanding of it anyway. I’d be interested in hearing your impression of the Constitutional enumerated powers. I admit I haven’t reviewed them under a historical lens.
