I feel that unfortunately, more government oversight (say, of securities markets) is needed than I would prefer (which is still much less than currently exists).

You'll have to give up autorizations of this type to get the reduced power necessary to be safe from the federal government. That's the issue, if government is doing something we like, that it's not really authorized to do, then we must be willing to prohibit government from exercising the illegitimate power. No exceptions.

Changing the Constitution at this point is next to impossible. But under a strict interpretation of the Constitution, many of these laws would be struck down, despite their necessity.

Again, authorization to government the exercise of one illegitimate power grants authority to exercise
ANY illegitimate power, if not immediately, then little by little over time.
