These days, being a “strict Constitutionalist” is sounding more and more “out there” when you take into consideration how far beyond the Constitutions limits the FedGov has grown.

Think of “extra-Constitutional” governing bodies like the TSA, FAA, FCC, FDA, DoE (both Education and Energy), BATFE, etc... That have ZERO to do with any strict reading of Art 1 Sec 8 and have only been brought into existence because of the abuse of the “Commerce Clause”.

While some of these organizations, like the FAA and FCC, have a place in a free market economy... they should be disassociated from the FedGov and run more like the IEEE or Underwriters Laboratories as a consortium of industry entities.
