#1 only in DC... real world common sense has no place there... a bizzaro world where you can with a straight face amend a law that has not passed. (and other even wackier things)

#2 Our founding fathers probably never even considered this idea because it doesn't make sense. Otherwise, they would have enacted the Bill of Rights before they ratified the Constitution in order to quell concerns, not after.

I wonder what the Constitution would look like if they knew then how people would behave today.

It's gone from "What does the Constitution let us do" to "Well, it doesn't say we can't do that!" And if that is a problem, they redefine the meaning of "regulate" or whatever word is being inconvenient.
