[Know your rights]

I thought you conceded that a pre-FDR court ruled that Congress may regulate intrastate traffic under the Commerce Clause.

Doesn't sound right to me ... better quote me exactly.

Be that as it may, the Commerce Clause does not give Congress the power to regulate purely intrastate activity

More than simply not granting that authority, it *explicitly* puts intrastate activity outside of federal authority.

"Doesn't sound right to me ... better quote me exactly."

Read it yourself -- in context.

"More than simply not granting that authority, it *explicitly* puts intrastate activity outside of federal authority."

Article I, Section 8 does not explicitly put any activity outside of federal authority. It grants powers.

Explain how the Commerce Clause is so explicit in placing intrastate activity outside of federal authority. Especially when the clause uses the phrase "among the several states", and does not even *explicitly* allow "interstate" regulation!

Looks *implicit* to me.
