He understands it, he just doesn't favor it.

I actually do favor it.
Even the writers of helvering vs Davis and the current set of liberals on the bench would claim that they still believe in finite enumerated powers.
but in practice we know that they will take the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause and use them to justify anything Congress proposes that has anything to do with private citizens moving their money around.
But I also favor social Security. 
If we could turn back time, it would have been better for FDR to have called for amending the Constitution to get the programs he was looking for. At least that way the document would make more sense vis our modern government.  He had like 3/4 of each house of Congress he just wasn't patient apparently.
I don't know what the prospects were at the level of the state legislatures, but if they were the ones actually stopping the show, shame on them. 
Back then most state legislatures did not operate on a one-person one-vote basis.
