"The commerce clause was already defined by those who debated the addition of the clause."

It seems to me that if they wanted the Commerce Clause limited to removing restrictions to trade among the several states they would have worded it differently. Something like, "Congress has the power to remove restrictions to trade among the several states".

Ya think?

Regulate- to make regular.

Has no connotations of PROHIBITING commerce. Especially at a time when interstate tariffs and trade barriers were a serious issue? Come on... let's not be ridiculous.
