I was stunned that so many FReepers answered with a no. LOL Guess there are a lot more "libertarian" minded FReepers when it comes to the drug issue then I ever realized. Either that or the vast majority of FReepers don't know the Commerce Clause from a hole in the ground.

The question was whether you think the federal goverment has over reached it's authority regardless of your opinion of what it's used that authority for.

I believe you just accused the vast majority of the forum of either being unable to make that distinction, or not understanding the issues involved.

What I said was pretty obvious. Creating a question whereby drugs and firearms are lumped together, as they were, leaves little room for making the case for critical distinction between two vastly different issues. Thus leaving only one way out, taking a pass. For those that did answer "No", I offered two possible realities. One, these people are libertarian minded on the issue of drugs or two, they did not understand the issue involving the commerce clause. The latter possibility sounds more reasonable and giving the benefit of the doubt in this case is also reasonable.
