Did you notice that the word commerce appears exactly once in the Brutus papers?

Yeah, it's funny. That's one term that was so properly understood even the antifeds didn't see the danger. After all, that was one power the delegates were supposed to add to the Articles of Confederation in Philly.

But, Brutus' essays regarding the judicial power and implied powers correctly describe how our faulty constitution would be used to grant more and more power for themselves, as has been done with the Commerce Clause.
