I'm with you - this is hyperventilation. Want the short version? "Imagine how horrible things would be if Congress didn't have authority under the Commerce Clause to regulate every single aspect of human existence."

Yeah, I'm imagining it. And frankly, Evan Schultz can kiss my a** - that sounds like probably the most fabulous thing that could possibly happen to this country since FDR's perversion of the Constitution. Period.

Yeah, I waded through the entire article (which did contain a lot of valuable information), waiting to find out what this devisive, subversive legal argument was that constituted such a danger. And the only thing that came out is that Lessig is challenging the conventional wisdom that Congress has essentially unlimited power. He is providing the Supreme Court with (horror of horrors!) another opportunity to take baby steps in restricting Congress. And if the Supreme Court continued down this path, the entire edifice of modern gargantuan governmental power would tremble and risk shattering!

If only it were so...
