I thought that law was invalidated.

The Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in U.S. v. Lopez, as outside of the Commerce Clause.

President Clinton pushed a nearly identical law through with considerable help by the old media, changing the law to claim that it was valid under the interstate commerce clause.

The 1995 law has not been challenged in court, to my knowledge.
