I love when brain dead morons like the O/P think they know better than 200 years of jurists what the constitution says.
I wish they'd stop.
A little knowledge is a ridiculous thing.
Actually Justice Thomas brought this up in the last case the court considered on the matter. It involved someone growing marijuana in CA(?). He sold it in CA. The claim was that since there was no interstate commerce, the feds had nothing to do with it.
Thomas pointed out, in the minority opinion, that if the majority prevailed then effectively the clause would mean whatever the gov't wanted it to mean, there would be no restrictions at all.
I think no restrictions at all on what government can do is a very dangerous thing.
Your talking about the Gonzalez case! It had to deal SPECIFICALLY with medical marijuana! Are you telling me any marijuana grow in CA states in CA! LOL, that is ignorant! If commerce can effect interstate commerce in any way then the commerce clause reign's supreme! There are exception, such as a State can get around it by using its Police Powers!
