Quote of the day...

“Under their own construction of the general clause at the end of the enumerated powers, Congress may grant monopolies in trade and commerce, constitute new crimes, inflict unusual and severe punishments, and extend their power as far as they shall think proper; so that state legislatures have no security for the powers now presumed to remain to them, or the people to their rights."

George Mason Objections to the Constitution, October 1787*

*Some of this has been rectified with a Bill of Rights and laws against monopolies, such as the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914
