So you concede that the power to regulate commerce "among the several states" does extend to intrastate commerce that substantially affects interstate commerce -- but only to remove hindrances to that trade?

No, I'm saying that the Shreveport decision doesn't support your position.

Hammer v. Dagenhart was overturned by US v. Darby Lumber Company.

An FDR-court decision, like I said.

I am aware of that.

But your justification implied that Congress may indeed regulate intrastate activity if that intrastate activity interfered with the free flow of interstate commerce.

Are you saying now that Congress may not do this? That states are free to impede interstate commerce, and Congress is impotent?

Like you said ... where?

And so what? Every court decision post-FDR is to be ignored?
