[tacticalogic]

I contend that a broad definition of what the commerce clause to allow regulation of intrastate is the exact opposite of it's original intent as it gives the Federal Government the power to regulate - theoretically - all the way into you bedroom.

I agree the "substantial effects" doctrine needs to go, but I still contend that the original intent of the Commerce Clause would disallow a state imposing an embargo for the same reasons it would disallow imposing an import tax, duty, or tariff. The are all equally destructive to interstate commerce.

the clause disallowing what you claim is in article 1 section 10 - not 8!
