Yes, specifically listed in Article 1 Section 8 of the federal Constitution. If it isn't listed there, then the feds aren't allowed to do it barring a Constitutional amendment.

Except when the Supreme Court says it's Constitutional, that's it. Aside from a new Amendment or an armed insurrection, you just gotta live with the fact that it has been deemed Constitutional.

He’s right. Nowhere in the Constitution is there an enumerated right to things like privacy or abortion, however Supreme Court cases such as Griswold and Roe interpreted both into law. Once they rule, future cases use those decisions as precedent and further strengthen the interpretation. Short of amending the Constitution and making the previous rulings void, society has little chance of overturning such a decision in the courts. The same thing is going on now with the pro/anti gun crowd. There are just too many cases upholding various legal interpretations. Not saying that the rulings of these examples are morally right or wrong, red/blue, etc. They are just examples of things that are not enumerated anywhere being interpreted into the Constitution and therefore becoming law.

They can’t rule contrary to the Constitution, but their job is to interpret what it says. Why do you think that the confirmation process gets so ugly? Politicians try to pick people for the Court who they feel will interpret the Constitution to their liking because they either don’t have the votes or the political spine to change the law in the legislature. It is politically easier to attempt to stack the Court in your favor than to follow the Constitution and have the legislative branch pass or change our laws. Just look at the headlines today. It is all about each side either demanding or worried that the Court will overturn Roe or invalidate the 2nd Amendment.

The 1.5 degree rise target they have set, requires a complete elimination of all green house gas emissions. If you go down the road of major climate policy activism, aircraft will absolutely be eliminated first, as people will sacrifice flying, long before they give up the basic necessities of life.

Answer these questions:
- why is the climate changing on Mars?
- why did the climate change on Earth millions of years before the Industrial Revolution?
- does the sun maintain a constant intensity/output?
- is the orbit of the Earth around the sun a constant distance, or does it ever change?
When you think about the answers to those questions then get back to us.
