The Federal Government clearly does not have the enumerated powers to regulate drugs or sexual activity.

Neither promoting morals nor raising revenue (outside of supporting enumerated powers of Government) are legitimate reasons for legislation.

That is it.

“The Federal Government clearly does not have the enumerated powers to regulate drugs or sexual activity.”

Bingo. At least a few people around still remember that it’s a conservative, not just a libertarian, position to advocate for federal government to be limited to its enumerated powers.

The nanny-state Republicans hate libertarians so much they don’t realize they are heading in a direction that is worse than libertarianism. In order to spite libertarians, they want to abandon conservatism and leap headlong towards tyranny.

Ok,
So, by your definition, why is murder against the law? Or for that matter, theft? Are they not morals being forced on by the State?
