#2 ..ah, yes. Next point you can throw in is the imperial judiciary, the district and above offices, which sits for life and are not accountable to the people. It's composed of self selecting body of lawyers and law professors who determine who gets into the caste and who doesn't. I can't find anywhere in the writings or early history of the republic where one third of the government was suppose to the composed of such a cabal or have the powers they now invoke.

#3 Amendments modify the origanal text, not the other way around.

Anyway, the real solution is to repeal the Commerce Clause and replace it with a Free Trade Amoung the States Amendment. That's all the Commerce Clause was supposed to be anyway.
