What part of Article 1, Section 8 set up all the other Federal Laws? The Constitution gives Congress the power to pass law, as well as the power to coin money. Deal with it.
A conservative would want congress restrained to it's constitutional limits.

I suggest you expand on that a bit. Congress has the power to pass laws it is empowered to pass.
Article. I.
Section. 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
The Congress is empowered to enact legislation only within the enumerated powers.
Congress has no other constitutional powers.
