RE :”While I agree with you (and Ron Paul) that a huge percentage of the laws passed pursuant to the Commerce Clause are beyond the scope of congressional power, and ...I was saying that Congress could ban abortion pursuant to its powers under the 14th Amendment.

You didnt read it closely. They CLEARLY said they would consider overturning the federal abortion law, not some nonsense about the 14th amendment.

Are you are saying that Scalia and Thomas are wrong about the US constition and abortion? They are plenty smart enough to realize the 14th amendment had NOTHING to do with a federal abortion law. The 14th amendment was passed to give ex-slaves US citizen rights. Abortion was illegal by the states at that time it was passed as was intended by the constitution including that amendment.

The Federal government outlawing abortion without an new amendment for it makes as much sense as Roe vs Wade.

You are making clear why Paul running is important: To teach badly needed :”Constitution 101”

I think that you should stop posting on this subject, lest you make it even clearer that you are completely ignorant about the U.S. Constitution.
