Sad, but true.
If the constitution is silent on this, as it is on almost all modern issues, I'd argue that constitutionality is irrelevant. If you are reading it as a textualist then you need to be consistent and read all of it as a textualist. The enumerated powers are the ones specifically granted and protected and the enumerated prohibitions are specifically not permitted all else is undetermined or left to the people to decide.
