“I note that the Federal Government does not have the authority to prohibit ordinary murder.”

I think I am misunderstanding you. I interpreted "murder should always be illegal on any and all levels" as meaning there should be a general Federal law against murder (even if not related to interstate commerce or civil rights under the 14th Amendment). Your reply suggests I got that wrong. Can you tell me what you think the Federal government should or shouldn't do with respect to laws on murder? Perhaps we don't disagree on this topic?
