So basically it boils down to Wickard making no sense whatsoever. A common theme in our government lately.

>Think of the economic effect that closing all those agencies will have upon individual states and the entire country if it was all done simultaneously.

It would throw the doors in the public sector wide open; the new activity therein would need manpower to carry out... therefore we can see that there will be a rise in the demand for employees.

Hopefully the Supreme Court takes this case soon.

Even if they do, there are some old Supreme Court cases finding that Congress has the power to regulate guns if they, or any of their component parts, ever moved in interstate commerce. See Scarborough v. United States (1977) and Barrett v. United States (1976). Hard to say if today's SCOTUS would overrule those cases.

Thanks StillThinking!

Someone should get an office pool going on how long it will take the 9th Circus to decide the district judge was dead on with his reasoning -- or lack thereof. Then they can all get together and do bong hits and laugh at those silly conservatives actually believing our Constitution means what it says.

I don’t think I’ve ever told you thanks for posting that link I’ve seen on numerous occasions. It’s a point that everyone should take to heart and try to arrive at a decision BEFORE they come for our guns.

In theory only. Somehow, we the people need to restore this theory to practice.

Get some judges who will inform juries that for a conviction they must find that the particular act of the defendant materially interfered with a legitimate exercise of a specific enumerated federal power. Congress may have the authority, via the elastic clause, to restrict actions which interfere with its ability to regulate interstate commerce, but only a jury armed with the particular facts of a case can know whether the particular action did in fact interfere with Congress' authority.

I’m on board for it, but then I was for it decades before it was popular!

It will prove to be the most important case in 60 years, no matter which way it goes.

Pray for Scalia’s Thomas’s, Alito’s, Robert’s and Kennedy’s good health.

God bless the folks in Montana and their democrat governor, Schweitzer, who supported and signed the bill. As a native Montanan, I'm proud of all of 'em.

Just imagine the new rules and regulations that other agencies would be putting out to protect their butts from citizens who realize they aren’t functioning with an iota of efficiency.

Doesn’t much matter. If push comes to shove, we can always vote from the rooftops... and include these bureaucraps in that vote, alongside the scumbags who give them their “authority.”
