If the needs have changed that much, then do the honorable thing and amend the Constitution. Do you have a problem following the path laid out by the Founders?

You have also been ducking my question about the conflict between your support for drug laws based on the New Deal Commerce Clause, and your claim that you support the original Commerce Clause. You can't have it both ways, so which is it?

The New Deal interpretation of the Commerce Clause violates the original intent with respect to commerce among the several states. Congress has the authorithy to regulate any and all commerce with foreign nations, and always has. This was part of the intent - that Congress be able to impose tariffs and bans of goods from foreign nations and that no State be able to make treaties or trade agreements with any foreign nation that would circumvent them.

Among the states, they have the authority to do whatever it takes to prevent any state from interfering with interstate commerce. This is not "puny".
