There is a difference, for example, between the exercise of eminent domain in the building of post roads and saving desert rats (especially when 5th amendment protections are not recognized). Is acknowledgement of this distinction naive or naively sophisticated? Help me, cuz otherwise I'm pedaling air.

Is "saving desert rats" a federal power 'necessarily implied' by the Constitution? If not, your distinction would appear to be valid!

Thanks for your thoughts! (And my apologies to 'x' for not replying to his post - we are experiencing phone problems, so I have to keep things short!)
