As if the Interstate Commerce clause hasn't been used to justify all sorts of things that are not enumerated in the Constitution.

Where is the federal government granted authority over education?

The ICC, of course.

Where is the federal government granted authority to mandate expensive and unnecessary explosive devices in the dashboards of motor vehicles?

ICC.

Talk about selective outrage.

I agree with you completely on this point. And I'm not outraged. I'm interested in the Constitutional implications of what Congress did in this case. I'm interested in stimulating a reasoned discussion of those implications. Long after the Schiavo case is settled, the Constitutional questions raised by this case will still affect all our lives.
