Not only that, but the fedguv holds that intrastate commerce which substantially affects interstate commerce can also be regulated.

Scalia really screwed up with Gonzales v Raich. Maybe he’ll have a chance to redeem himself.

It's worse than that:

Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.

J. Scalia, concurring in Raich
