The constitution was always meant to be a living document that can be interpreted in many ways.

You're wrong. The constitution was written to limit what the federal government can do. Anything not specifically called out in the constitution for the federal government, was left to the states or the individual.

And, it was not meant to be a "living" document, despite what the left may think. Any changes to the constitution is to be done through amendments, not through interpretations of those in power at any given time. And, the courts are supposed to uphold the constitution as written, not based on what their political ideology is.

Cool story. Glad you're a constitutional historian with a working knowledge of what John Adams, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson we're thinking.

There is plenty of historical record to suggest the "enumerated" powers list was not exhaustive. Including the actual text of the document.

And since the list includes the elastic clause anyway -- there is very little congress cannot do.
