You can’t have it both ways. The Commerce Clause is used to justify the expenditure of federal dollars on roads, bridges, and public transit systems in New York. That being the case, what is the basis for any objection about that same Commerce Clause being used to scrutinize and regulate HOW those federal dollars are spent?
Exactly the commerce clause is abused. And the Fing Fed’s have no business in the road funding game. That is no where in the constitution ,we are 30 trillion in debt because the feds fund and spend on things then never should.
In the North East interstates built with and maintained with Federal money are tolled New Jersey tolls every interstate in its borders, those were built with Federal money and the tolls go to the state of New Jersey. The Fed’s oonly recourse is withhold money once it’s given tuff titties , they never should be in that business anyways it’s not one of the 8 enumerated powers they hold.
Sorry your commerce clause aarguments are flawed from the start the whole use of the clause is against the purpose of the constitution and the limits purposely written in TWICE with the tenth amendment added to make sure the feds knew their limits. Then post Lincoln and his war of aggression against sovereign states illegally over stepped by the federal government.
Again no true conservative should ever lean on the commerce clause it’s after the income tax the worst thing ever put to the American Republic. Period full stop.
