Under this reading, there is no "private behavior" that could ever be beyond the reach of the Commerce Clause. Presumably, not even breathing — after all, we all "share" the same air....

Jeepers. Thank you so much for your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

Certainly the Framers never imagined, let alone intended, the Commerce Clause to be so omnipotent in its reach....

Agreed! I suspect most of the Framers being erudite men of some substance as well as students of the human condition were not likely blind to the possibility. One has to wonder if they considered the potential of a future federal income tax that would allow an almost limitless supply of feral funds which could be used for bribery, extortion and various protection rackets, not to mention the outright buying of voter blocs?

SHEESH, it's getting late!

Aw shucks ma’am, you are much too kind. ;^)
