In your scenario everything and anything, even doing nothing, affects interstate commerce.

Yep, if I sleep late Saturday, I'm not working or shopping, so therefore the federal government should be allowed to come kick in my door, drag me out of bed and send me on my way, lest I detrimentallly affect interstate commerce...

Yes, a great example of the absurd ends many posters here want to strecth the ICC to. Based upon the New Deal interpretation, this would be a logical end of the ICC. Looks like State's rights is just a myth....

I think they should, but that's me.

Keep in mind, funny one, that congress would have to pass a law to that effect. Think they could, with just my vote? Think the POTUS would sign it?

Think anyone should take you seriesly?
