The founders CLEARLY meant that the feds could intervene only when there was a dispute between the states.

Remember during the Roberts confirmation hearing when they were talking about his earlier environmental dissent about a frog that never crossed state lines, therefore it wasn't a federal issue?

“The hapless toad,” [Roberts] wrote, “for reasons of its own, lives its entire life in California” and thus could not affect interstate commerce.

Google “roberts hapless toad” to see the hysterics that the left was in when Roberts was being confirmed.

“This viewpoint will undermine all environmental laws!”

GOOD.
