Funny, My debate club was just going through this. It is interesting how limited congress was created, and how expansive it has become today. It is amazing how most of our laws are not a part of the authorities specifically granted to the Congress by the Constitution. And the tenth amendment makes it very clear that anything not specifically allowed by section 8 is reserved for the states.
