Remain in denial. You never address how major corporations (businesses) have extended since 1787. Only how the Federal Gov’t has. You are one dimensional, but do carry on! Better to have tunnel vision than none at all.

If the original Commerce Clause is inadequate to address the issue of corporate extension, then do the honorable thing and amend the Constitution as the Founders intended.

It is cheating to violate its original meaning in order to use it for purposes not intended by the Founders. Cheating is dishonorable.

You are Obama’s best friend with your all or nothing purity but it sure makes you feel better. Meanwhile back in the real world real people find judicial work arounds of the Commerce Clause and don’t spend years in futile quests to amend the Constitution. But why should you care since you live on Fantasy Island

Do you or anyone know the reasoning behind the banning of the incandescent bulb?

It is so GE and a couple of other corporations can make more money and pay off more corrupt politicians.

In a way, it is an academic argument. When austerity hits for real, your welfare/nanny state will be in jeopardy.

I, for one, will enjoy the spectacle as Enviro-Nazis and their Drug Warrior soulmates get thrown under the bus.

Title reminds me of this commercial:

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? Let's find out....One, Two...crunch....Three....It takes Three

“I just happen to like that pesky original Commerce Clause.”

After reading your profile, I’ll not jump to conclusions. Please offer further explanation of this statement that you made. I’d like to better understand your position.

OK, after further reading I have realized that we are on the same page. No need to answer my previous post.
