In no honest interpretation does "to regulate" mean to prohibit. Only by misconstruing could it be asserted to mean to prohibit.

"In no honest interpretation does "to regulate" mean to prohibit. Only by misconstruing could it be asserted to mean to prohibit."

So "to regulate commerce with foreign nations" does not allow Congress to prohibit foreign trade?

Hmmmm. You would have thought that Madison would have told this to Jefferson in 1807 during "Jefferson's Embargo".
