Thomas Jefferson explained, Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated. . .

If I could take all my parts with me when I go somewhere
and not have to say to one of them, ‘No, you stay home tonight, you won’t be welcome’
because I’m going to an all-white party where I can be gay but not Black
Or I’m going to a Black poetry reading, and half the poets are anti-homosexual
or thousands of situations where something of what I am cannot come with me
The day all the different parts of me can come along
we would have what I would call
a revolution
