How The Ruinous "Living Constitution" Idea Took Root

Questionable history to say the least. Before the New Deal and the "stream of commerce" idea became fashionable, most people probably recognized that a state could regulate drinking or lotteries within its own borders.

I maybe be wrong, but my understanding is the fact that you could take a lottery ticket or a hip flask across state lines wouldn't have made either lotteries or alcohol production "interstate commerce" in those days. So far as I can see, no "living Constitution" would have been required to allow for state regulation of such activities in those days.

Don’t worry, if he thinks that some of these Christians weakened the Constitution ... just wait until Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, gets here ... He’s going to absolutely DESTROY the Constitution!
