That would be the FDR Administration, which, in several Supreme Court cases argued (apparently successfully) that the Interstate Commerce Clause in the Constitution gives the Federal Govt. the right to do almost anything, and that the 10th Amendment is irrelevant. Note that the 16th Amendment was passed in the early 20th century just to give the Federal Govt. the right to collect income tax. Today the US Treasury is buying up the US banking system, and no one questions whether the Federal Govt. has the right to do this.
