I am not changing the subject. You are associating conservative justices with ignoring the constitutions doofus. So you haven't answered MY QUESTION: What is the Constitutional principle that something has to be explicitly permitted for the government to pass a law? I'm not aware of any such principle.

I'm not aware of any such principle.MY ANSWER: The Tenth Amendment; that's why it's there! Also, "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain INALIENABLE rights, among these the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," What part of INALIENABLE do you not understand? It means- government shall make no law--- none, that infringe on these rights. Why is this principle so difficult for conservatives to grasp?
