Laws on alcohol consumption (including blue laws) were never found unconstitutional because of 1st amendment freedom of religion. They were eventually repealed by the legislature or struck down for violating the right to privacy (sodomy).
Do you think drug laws are religiously based? A law can be based on the religious beliefs of some (abortion) but it is still a secular law if it contains no religious language.

The government has the powers given it in the Constitution. Technically, in a democracy the government has any powers a majority of the people choose to give it. That is why many make the point that we are not a democracy because a majority cannot override the rights of the minority in our system.

"the government?" which government?
Federal powers are enumerated ( or found implied by SCOTUS) - Constitution lists them it doesn't
"limit" them.
If you mean the 10th those powers not specificly enumerated go to the state and people-
but that's the function of federalism or the balance of powers.
Government has limited and finite powers if that is what are crudely trying to say-
but even the 10th has limited reach

This is a crisis created by Moscow Mitch in order to kiss tRump's lawlessly hacked in hide at seditiously and un Constitutionally installing demagogues with the intent to do tRump's will only, and to hell with the purpose the U.S. Supreme Court was created as to serve the interests of society, Democracy as an impartial form of administering justice and in compliance with U.S. Constitutional law. This is another reason in order to further reduce the affect that tRump's destructive stench had in an effort to destroy Democracy from within, is to expand SCOTUS. This effort in order to dilute the seditious influence that exist there which does not work to preserve Democracy or the rule of impartial law but to be a tool at waging war against Democracy, society and humanity. Considering tRump and his repuke demagogues lawlessly corrupted SCOTUS, there is nothing illegal about reversing that atrocity when it comes to expanding SCOTUS in defense of Democracy and the interests of society and humanity and the rule of law, etc.
