According to tpaine, "There are no limits to commerce clause powers in the socialistic, 'majority rules' world advocated by paulsen."

Well, let's settle this once and for all by demonstrating the type of blowhard that tpaine actually is.

tpaine, I pinged you to answer one question -- please copy Teacher317 with your response. You say I claim there's no limits to commerce clause powers. Which interstate commerce, therefore, may Congress not regulate?

-- Paulsen contends that ~any~ thing can be 'constitutionally' regulated/prohibited. -- Ask him.. There are no limits to commerce clause powers in the socialistic, 'majority rules' world advocated by paulsen.

You say I claim there's no limits to commerce clause powers.
Which interstate commerce, therefore, may Congress not regulate?

Congress does not have the power to regulate "interstate" anything but commerce "among the several States".

For instance: -- a man making a gun for his own use cannot be 'regulated' by Congress. The very idea that he can is ludicrous in constitutional terms. -- Do you contend otherwise?

Please, -- make a response so that we can settle this, instead of your usual tactic of ignoring questions you don't want to answer.

Congress does not have the power to regulate anything but commerce "among the several States".
In other words, -- Congress cannot 'regulate' commerce that deprives any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. [see the 14th] A prohibition on making a machine gun violates both the 14th & the 2nd Amendment.

I've now answered you four times paulsen.
-- I see you're back to your typical old 'maneuver' of ignoring posts you can't rebut.

This proves that ~you~ are the "blowhard" here..
