But yet Congress after Congress and President after President and Supreme Court after Supreme Court advocates or gives their blessing for taxation and the spending of that money that does many things that the right - at least the modern right - objects so vociferously to.
That is indeed true. We also have a cabinet level federal department of education, but absolutely no federal power of education exists in the constitution. Simply because something is deemed good or important does not mean that is is then a new federal power.
It seems as though you feel anything that passes congress and is signed into law by the POTUS is thus constitutional. Our nine robed federal umpires are not allowed to throw penalty flags, they must wait until someone deemed to have "standing" gets an issue through the court system; even then they may simply decline to rule on that issue at all. Separate but equal is totally illegal when based on race (unless it is called affirmative action or used as a remedy for past discrimination) but mandated for college sports based on gender.
