. -- Mojave inadvertently posted support for the 'in conflict' observation.
--- As we see, Davis 'boldly' admits that Congress can use the Commerce Clause to prepare for conflict, for war..
For war with foreign nations, or indian tribes.. --Not for 'war' against the several States or US citizens.

Or for non-conflict, for peace.

??? - Of course Congress can regulate among the States "for peace"..
That's the point; Congress does not have the power to regulate among the several States as an adversary..
It is ludicrous to believe that the government of the United States is empowered by the Constitution to wage a prohibitive commerce 'war' on its own States or its own citizens.

Is claiming that commerce powers are actually war powers your absurdity du jour?

Your amusingly juvenile proclivity for asking absurd leading questions is noted once again kiddo.
Will you ever grow up?
