“I would repeal and replace with. The Federal Government has no business regulating commerce and shall not.”
This is the answer!
There is simply no longer a need for the central government to regulate commerce between states. The free market will take care of this issue. Early in our history the regulation of interstate commerce may have been needed but not now. There is virtually NOTHING that the federal government does with this power that actually benefits the people. It is and has been for many years a vehicle for the abuse of power.

Lets tell that to the Collaborators in the GOP. Reducing and eliminating the Federal Bureaucracy is not on the table. Why?

3. To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes; but neither this, nor any other clause contained in the Constitution, shall ever be construed to delegate the power to Congress to appropriate money for any internal improvement intended to facilitate commerce; except for the purpose of furnishing lights, beacons, and buoys, and other aids to navigation upon the coasts, and the improvement of harbors and the removing of obstructions in river navigation; in all which cases such duties shall be laid on the navigation facilitated thereby as may be necessary to pay the costs and expenses thereof. Or how about this language?p

There is simply no longer a need for the central government to regulate commerce between states. You need to look at the history of the Holy Roman Empire, the Peace of Westhpalia and the Zollverein.
