Long Dong Thomas is not qualified to summarize anything.But your own qualifications to the general welfare clause do not support your claim that government's role is not to regulate industry when regulating commerce among the states is one of the specifically enumerated powers in the Constitution!!!!!
Justice Thomas summarized what the Framers' definition might have been as controlling the "selling, buying, and bartering, as well as transporting for these purposes." This allows laws to be made governing these transactions. Nothing about regulating consumption.
Commerce used in the Constitution means business or commercial exchanges. Again nothing about regulating consumption.
But thank you for admitting you were dead wrong about about the general welfare clause by changing "regulating INDUSTRY" to "regulating CONSUMPTION."
I didn't change anything and regulating industry wasn't what the forefathers had in mind when they wrote the commerce clause.
Open a history book and educate yourself.
