“Something tells me you haven’t tested your legal opinion on that yourself.”
A law being unconstitutional and the courts being willing to declare it unconstitutional are two separate things.
It’s a plain fact, though, that everyone used to understand the limits of the constitution required an amendment to be passed in order to grant the federal government authority to regulate intoxicants, since that is exactly what we did when they wanted to ban alcohol. No politicians would have bothered with that if they actually had the constitutional authority to just pass a law instead.
Therefore, anyone who decides to defend the opinion that the government now has authority to ban substances without an amendment is in the unenviable position of having to imagine that new constitutional authority can somehow appear out of thin air, just like the liberals imagine when they want to do things like legalize abortion.
