Tell me how I'm wrong in my interpretation. (...fully expexting the "I'm not wasting my time with you" non-answer.)

The commerce clause was meant to give the federal government to act as sort of a mediator between the states - in order to keep one state from erecting barriers of trade with another state.

For example, to keep Iowa from enacting an 'import tax' on corn grown in wisconsin.

It was NEVER meant to give the federal power to control EVERYTHING and ANYTHING it wants to merely because it happens interstate.

That is what you are advocating. It is contrary to the vision of the founding fathers. And it is in accordance with what every liberal believes the commerce clause is about.

So do you enjoy siding with them over the people that founded this country?
