Re: hmmm..... said by chimera:Except it does since this effects interstate commerce which the federal government is empowered to regulated. Ditto for the internet. Heh. In the eyes of the federal government, everything falls under interstate commerce, and can thus be regulated at the federal level.

A stacked court decision in the 1930s lead to this when the Federal Government decided that the Federal Government could classify something as Interstate Commerce simply by placing any regulation on the object.
IE: according to the ruling, it is interstate commerce if the Legistlature decides to regulate any product in almost any way.
The logic was used in the following manner as well:
The federal government bans something (anything) your use of that product, even if produced by yourself and consumed by yourself results in market pressure in the BLACK market which crosses state lines.
The commerce clause is the most abused aspect of our entire government. |
