You've seen Madison's writings on the matter more times than I can count, and want no part of it beyond trying to render it incomprehensible by trying to give meanings to the words they don't and have never had.
Madison is not "the states". I'll ask you again. If you know what the states understood about the Commerce Clause let's hear it.
If anybody is "rejecting out of hand" it's you when I ask you to support your statements.
