I would say that the federal gov't doesn't have the right to legislate on intoxicating substances as it is not enumerated in the constitution, and that it's an issue that should be totally left up to the states, and that it would end up going to the state with the least legislation. Which is where I'd say health care belongs as well. Say Mass vs. NH. Mass can have it if they want to, but NH doesn't have to (I know which almost counters my previous argument, if you consider a privilege of the state).
I've had a hard time with Art. 4 sec 2 for that very reason. It's too broad, but it's never been amended, nor do I think any lawyers argue from it. In the end I base my opinions on probably 30 years of reading the writings of these men, and the arguments since. I think that the courts get it wrong a ton. If you spend time in the writings of Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Franklin, Paine and the rest you can plainly see that where we are today was not their intent. I am totally of the opinion that if those men lived today we would already be in the middle of another revolution/civil war. To my mind we have passed the line into tyranny.
