You’re on the wrong side of this argument...

Hard to argue with someone who says there are no implied powers unless they decide there are.

Show me where the Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution intended “implied powers” to the feds to create essentially a totalitarian government in taking over things like your health choices, your drugs, energy, the environment, abortion, race, gender, ALL communications (regulated by the unconstitutional FCC).

You need to study the Federalist Papers (explanation of the Constitution by the creators) and the size of the federal government as a % of the GDP, and SCOTUS cases in the 1800’s, like the Slaughterhouse Cases - all confirming that the Constitution, framed by the Declaration of Independence, gave us a limited government.

You make a good Leftist argument but as with all Leftist argument, it fails. It’s hard to image why someone who seems to love unlimited government is on a site such as FR which stands for the individual freedom the Constitution protects and is the antitheses of your big government.
