You DO realize how badly the "Commerce Clause" has been abused to pass all manner of insane legislation don't you?

I heard the individual insurance mandate come up as an idea. Is that in the current draft? If so, that is a horrible idea and hopefully proponents can be convinced that such a thing does not have a constitutional basis. However, I don't think it reflects systematic disregard.
What do you mean why worry over the Patriot Act?
Abused or interpreted more broadly? Let's also not forget that not all bad/insane laws are unconstitutional.
