As to the scope ...They are indeed hypocrites Mark.<br /><br />As to the scope of the Commerce Clause, what it says, until recently, wasn't very important - the Court for decades has let Congress pass pretty much any law it wishes, under its ever-broadening interpretation.<br /><br />Now it seems some judges want to reign in the feds. If we are going to retrench, it needs to be done wholesale, not piecemeal, though that isn't going to happen.<br /><br />As to a specific response to your comment, the clause doesn't say what the Court has interpreted it to allow, except because the Court has allowed its expansion, it says what the Court has interpreted it to say, until further notice.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-9928914335397469512011-02-25T09:51:22.950-05:002011-02-25T09:51:22.950-05:00Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds?
