So you propose tyranny of the minority instead?

  I propose following the Constitution strictly as written with a very narrow interpretation. And if some people think the federal government needs more power then they are welcome to propose an amendment.

That's been done, too. Seems like you're happy with things and maybe you just enjoy complaining?

      I am not at all happy with the overly broad interpretation of the Commerce Clause which started with NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., 301 U.S. 1 (1937). This essentially gave the federal government a loophole to exercise authority over almost everything based on only the most tenuous connections to interstate commerce. Hopefully the Supreme Court will reverse that and similar decisions in a future case, thereby limiting federal power. I will continue complaining until that happens.
