Where do you find a delegated 'power to prohibit' in the Constitution? [see the 10th]

No question begging necessary.

You can't answer, so you deny. Typical.

The power to regulate includes the power to prohibit.

You lost that debate on the "Drugs/Gun FR Poll" thread. -- Need a link?

So says the US Supreme Court. Need a link to a court case?

Nope, seeing the USSC has made a ~lot~ of dubious opinions over the years. -- Only you big gov activists would dispute that.

"You lost that debate on the "Drugs/Gun FR Poll" thread"

I didn't realize that the interpretation of the Commerce Clause was done by a FR poll. That sounds too much like "rule of man" vs. "rule of law"

".Nope, seeing the USSC has made a ~lot~ of dubious opinions over the years"

Be that as it may, Marbury v Madison says that the dubious opinion stands. The power to regulate includes the power to prohibit -- no question begging necessary.
