I find this line of reasoning warped:
Here's what these four tried to do:
1. Prevent
Public use from including private development.
2. Prevent
Interstate Commerce from including non-commercial activity , conducted entirely within a single state's border
Here's what the other five did:
1. Included private development as a permissable extension of public use.
2. Included non-commercial activity, conducted entirely within a single states borders as INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Upholding the principles of the constitution is not legislating from the bench, stretching and bastardizing the constitution to satisfy your ideology is legislating from the bench.
It's really quite simple.
