Like I said, then don't ask for a religious source of our laws.
You asked, "Where in the Constitution does it give the Feds authority to outlaw drugs?" Now you're changing the subject and saying there's no basis in the Bible or even in the history of jurisprudence.
Geez Louise. Make up your mind. I answer one question, complete with a U.S. Supreme Court cite,
What a howler! You did not show us -- "Where in the Constitution does it give the Feds authority to outlaw drugs?" -- You showed us an opinion by a Justice who was ignoring restrictions on Congressional powers; claiming that legislation can be written to prohibit "-- immorality, dishonesty, or the spread of any evil or harm to the people of other States from the State of origin. --"
Under our Constitution, legislators shall make no law respecting the theories,establishments, dogmas, etc, of the Catholic Church, nor any other religion.
Like I said, then don't ask for a religious source of our laws.
No one 'asked for' that, bobby.
-- As usual, unable to actually address the issue, you're throwing out an inane diversionary comment.
Answer the question.. -- "Where in the Constitution does it give the Feds authority to outlaw drugs?"
Public Law 97-280MFurthemore, consider the words of a couple of men that dwarf you and I in knowledge and application of the law;97th Congress: Congress Confesses the Bible is “The Word of God”
[S.J.Res. 165] 96 Stat. 1211
October 4, 1982
Joint Resolution authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim 1983 as the “Year of the Bible.”
Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive and blessed nation and people;
Whereas deeply held religious convictions springing from the Holy Scriptures led to the early settlement of our Nation;
Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States;
Whereas many of our great national leaders—among them Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and Wilson—paid tribute to the surpassing influence of the Bible in our country's development, as the words of President Jackson that the Bible is “the rock on which our Republic rests”;
Whereas the history of our Nation clearly illustrates the value of voluntarily applying the teachings of the Scriptures in the lives of individuals, families, and societies;
Whereas this Nation now faces great challenges that will test this Nation as it has never been tested before; and
Whereas that renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through Holy Scripture can strengthen us as a nation and a people: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a national “Year of the Bible” in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our Nation, and our national need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures.
Approved October 4, 1982.

"Religion and morality...are the foundations of all governments. Without these restraints no free government could long exist. No free government now exists in the world unless where Christianity is acknowledged and the religion of the country....it is the purest system of morality, the firmest auxiliary, and only stable support of all human laws..." -- Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1824, Updegraph v The Commonwealth, 11 serg.&R. 393-394, 398-399, 402-407 (1824)."Christianity is part of the common law" -- Supreme Court Justice James Wilson, appointed by Pres. George Washington
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." -- President George Washington
"America was born a christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of the Holy Scripture" -- President Woodrow Wilson
"What do I think of the Bible? It is the infallible Word of God." -- Assoc Justice US Supreme Court William Strong
etc etc....
Christianity is the foundation of all free nations today, either directly or indirectly by the actiong of a Christian nation toliberate a non-Christian nation.
No other nation was ever founded free that did not base its laws on Christian values and doctrines.
Atheists ONLY ever founded tyrannical depostic regimes such as the USSR, China, Cambodia, Cuba, N. Korea, etc etc...
The less influence of Christians in a nation then the more and more it becomes socialistic, tyrannical and deprives man of freedoms.
Furthermore, the more the US population mecomes non-Christian then the more the US COnstitution is threatened and upended. No Muslim, no atheist, no budhist, ever could long support the tenets of the COnstitution. History has shown the truth of this.
