If it has some meaning, the nub of that meaning is its breadth of application. That's a question of interpretation which is the province of the Supreme Court.

Words have meaning. "Commerce" has meaning. So does "interstate".

Someone growing weed under strict state guidelines, where the weed does not cross state lines and is not sold, is neither commerce nor interstate. So Congress and SCOTUS have basically said that words mean whatever they want them to.

Just like the Mad Hatter...

Even Rush Limbaugh was trashing the decision.

Re medical mj:

"On the presidential campaign trail in 1999, Mr. Bush said, "I believe each state can choose that decision as they so choose," in response to a reporter's question."

He's an economic liberal who is socially conservative. In other words... a fascist.
