In addition, in a concurring opinion in Gonzales v. Raich (2005), Justice Scalia maintained that, under Lopez, "Congress may regulate even noneconomic local activity if that regulation is a necessary part of a more general regulation of interstate commerce." It may be worth noting that Justice Clarence Thomas' minority opinion in Gonzalez stated that "if Congress can regulate [the noncommercial growing of marijuana for personal use] under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate anything — and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers."

But it seems to me, that the port bottleneck is affecting commerce and the interfering regulation in California is one of the direct causes. It isn’t just affecting local states, but also impacting global trade and commerce
