Perhaps I should have mentioned that the courts have NEVER before found that NOT buying something affects interstate commerce. It would be an noteworthy (and vulnerable to challenge) expansion of legal precedent. The shock to the conscience of such a commerce clause claim is the heart of the 10th Amendment challenge, and I don’t dismiss it as readily as the author, Mr. Anderson.
thank you, my love. Miss you.
I'm no legal expert, so maybe this doesn't (quite) count, but it's pretty darn close. I read Thomas Sowell's Intellectuals and Society recently, wherein he describes abuse of the Commerce Clause including an example where the court ruled that a guy growing his own wheat for his own consumption decreased the demand for wheat on the open market, hence the feds had the authority to regulate his production.
