''Congress can certainly regulate interstate commerce to the extent of forbidding and punishing the use of such commerce as an agency to promote immorality, dishonesty, or the spread of any evil or harm to the people of other States from the State of origin.''
-- Chief Justice Taft, Brooks v. US, 267 U.S. 432 (1925)

Why it's right next to the article and clause that grants the federal government authority to meddle in public education and healthcare.
