Yes, that was in response to Durusbringing the federal issue up to me in post 588. And can you deny that the Constitution gives the power to regulate - never did I say ban - interstate commerce?

1. The meaning of the Phrase "to regulate trade" must be sought in the general use of it, in other words in the objects to which the power was generally understood to be applicable, when the Phrase was inserted in the Constn. 2. The power has been understood and used by all commercial & manufacturing Nations as embracing the object of encouraging manufactures. It is believed that not a single exception can be named.
James Madison to Joseph C. Cabell 18 Sept. 1828
How does the regulation of pornography embrace the object of encouraging manufactures?
