[Know your rights]

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

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

Nor did I ... having reading trouble?

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.

No it doesn't, as regulating intrastate acitivity is not Constitutionally proper.

"to regulate intrastate drug transactions."

A drug transaction is not commerce? Then was is it?

"No it doesn't, as regulating intrastate acitivity is not Constitutionally proper."

Did I say regulate? No, I did not. I said legislate.

Get it right numbnuts -- I will not tolerate you misquoting me.
