To: where's_the_Outrage?

My understanding of the Constitution, undoubtedly flawed as hell, says FedGov has ONLY those powers enumerated in the Constitution, and no others. (Ninth and Tenth Amendments being real and applicable.)

Therefore, the Supremes could spend the next ten years throwing out federal law after federal law, nonstop and uninterrupted. Where the HELL does FedGov get the power to outlaw 100-watt lightbulbs, require ethanol or 10,000 other intrusions into our lives.

In fairness, however, I think a new Amendment would be needed to keep Social Security in place. Otherwise, start slashing!

Wickard v. Filburn. If the Supremes rule against the EPA in the case mentioned above, that means Wickard is dead. I have been waiting for that moment since I first learned about Wickard in law school, nearly 40 years ago.
