You are treading very close to the "living document" interpretation that is the foudation for everything I, and many others, find wrong with our gubment today. The Constitution was written as a be-all end-all gubment rule book. Any breach of its rule or intent is, in my athiest view, blasphemy of the highest order and should be punnished as outright treason. The more people like you take this view the more the gubment and all of its minions get a little more elbow room to go around that document in the persuit of "other than honest" ends.

But you do agree that they left a way to ammend the constitution. That they left all the powers not specifically mentioned to "the people" or "the states". Right???

So a strict reading would say that the people and the states can make laws about libraries... because we just dont' find the word Library mentioned in the consitution. It is the living interpretations that pretend that clauses which never address the internet or libraries somehow regulate them instead that 10th ammendment that specifically leaves unmentioned powers to the people or the states.
