Until the VERY recent Chevron ruling, that's how Congress's powers were intepreted.

The Necessary and Proper Clause (or Elastic Clause) in the Constitution grants (or granted, I guess) this power.

It's wild to think how Republicans used to complain about activist judges, but the current Federalist Society slate has undone at least 100+ years of precedent in the last half dozen.

Projection, as usual. When in opposition they act as if the Democrats were doing <insert evil thing>, so they can justify doing <evil thing> when they come topower, because it's "just a reaction".
