"Redefining and Expanding the Courts role"

The landmark case, Gibbons v Ogden, defined the Commerce Clause not redefined it (unless you can find an earlier definition). I would much rather the courts determine the original meaning than the original intent.

The commerce clause was already defined by those who debated the addition of the clause. What your judicial hero's did was to go and CHANGE that definition.

You can run from it, but you cannot hide.
