I already addressed that in my above posts, where I specifically used purely intrastate examples that the Feds cannot Constitutionally regulate.

So, you believe the Constitution is a "living, breathing" thing and doesn't just mean what it says?

The Congress shall have Power . . . To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

Yes, dear — AMONG the several states, not WITHIN individual states. INTERstate, not INTRAstate. Surely you know that. But you feel free to continue twisting and bending the clear meaning of the INTERstate commerce clause to ignore the powers reserved to the states, or to the people. Living, breathing Constitution indeed.

It’s clear you’re one of those “big, unConstitutional federal government is great, as long as it’s MY big unConstitutional federal government” types. Have a good day.
