Most of this is possible because the SCOTUS has broadly (very broadly) interpreted the commerce clause of the Consititution so that anything that might involve interstate commerces (up to and including buying products produced in another state) comes under the control of Congress.

What we need is another Constitutional Convention, as authorized by the Constitution, called by the States. One of the Amendments would be to direct the SCOTUS to interpret the various portions of the Constitution using contemporaneous definitions and documentations. Allow impeachment for using ‘auras’ or ‘permutations’ etc.
