Justice Scalia himself adopted this common-sense (by leftie Bizarro World standards) logic last year—not in addressing gun possession, but in agreeing with the court's liberals that Congress could stop local production of marijuana as a way to get at interstate drug dealing. Scalia wrote that the "regulation of an intrastate activity may be essential to a comprehensive regulation of interstate commerce even though the intra­state activity does not itself 'substantially affect' inter­state commerce."

What was Scalia smoking when he wrote that?

I think he hates potheads. Sadly this is judicial activism.
