Article I, Section 1, Clause 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 17
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution ...
Article VI
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land;
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

How is it you imagine that legislation where no Powers [were] herein granted that do not relate to the [enumerated] Powers or [any] other Powers vested in the Constitution AND are not made in Pursuance thereof are somehow law?

The process by which legitimate legislation is affirmed into law is NOT a general grant of power to make legislation on anything whatsoever.

[E]very act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this,
would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid. -- Alexander Hamilton

Instead of a Constitutionally LIMITED Republic, we are ruled by a Congress and Executive that do whatever they please until and unless a majority of those on the Court decree otherwise (and even then it does not necessarily matter).I don't like a lot of this any more than you do!  I'm just saying its
