But think what all those bad rulings could do in a Constitutionalist’s hands. If every human action is “in commerce”, then every government action must be. How many local, county and state zoning, licensing and permitting ordinances are restraints on trade or limitations on the 50 state free market America is supposed to be. It’s a very sharp blade that cuts both ways if we let it.

Eliminating those restraints is the only direction it was intended to cut. Those bad rulings serve no purpose in the hands of a Constitutionalist. It would be a tool that would not fit his hand.
