Governor Wallace said basically the same thing in his "Schoolhouse Door" speech!

The 14th Amendment ruled out discrimination; nothing in the Constitution empowers the feds to regulate intrastate drug transactions.

"nothing in the Constitution empowers the feds to regulate intrastate drug transactions."

Who said anything about regulating intrastate commerce? I surely didn't.

What I DID do was tell you (a couple of times) that the Necessary and Proper Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to LEGISLATE intrastate ACTIVITY in order to effectively regulate interstate commerce.

Slipped your mind, huh?
