"Tell me pray tell how does a plant that is grown locally under a state sanctioned plan, that does not leave the state, involve interstate commerce?"

Is wheat a plant? Well then, I can actually cite a court case, Wickard v. Filburn, which said exactly that.

Can you cite any liberal organization or individual that doesn't agree with it?

Yes this was required reading in Govt. 1. There was a time when a conservative espoused Wickard v. Filburn as an example of the Federal Government run amok. Perhaps you forgot this was a New Deal program that was being challenged? You do know that this was one of FDR’s favorite rulings, or that Republicans for decades have decried it as one of the worst attacks on States’ Rights? This is also the ruling that will eventually be used to confiscate all of your firearms.
