Armed and dangerous

Pull out your pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution. Take a look at the powers of Congress. Note the first, third, and last powers. The first is the taxation clause, the third is the commerce clause, and the last is the necessary and proper clause, affectionately nicknamed the "elastic clause."

I ask you, is there anything Congress can't do when they're armed with those three clauses? Don't forget, the commerce clause has grown into a monster and regulates almost all economic activity. And the necessary and proper clause allows Congress to make all laws necessary and proper in order to carry out all the powers listed before it, which includes, of course, the taxation clause and the commerce clause. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, Congress is armed and dangerous, and there's almost nothing they can't push through. Especially since most Presidents now can't find their veto pens.
