My theory is not "erroneous", and it is very much supported by those whose wrote the Constitution. The federal government has simply chosen to rely on the judicial branch to "interpret" its way into more or less unlimited power. Again, your entire premise is an appeal to an authority that has ignored its charter and deigned to give itself whatever authority it sees fit. And again, this is why we have laws such as the Freedom Act.
So yes, this is how our world works and I'm grateful your minority opinion isn't creating the power vacuum easily predicted.
Sadly, you are right, that is how the world works, which is why hundreds of Americans are killed every year enforcing the War on Drugs, why hundreds of thousands of Americans are imprisoned for the same, why millions of people have been killed or maimed in our overseas conflicts, why banks are allowed to commit fraud and then be bailed out by the people they defrauded, why government agencies can spy without restraint on every American citizen, why American citizens can be assassinated without due process. You might find this concentration of unlimited power appealing, but I don't, and I will fight it.
Because captive markets are so good at finding competition.
A free market would discourage a captive market, unless that captive market was already efficiently servicing the market.
