"It is not intended to say that these words comprehend that commerce, which is completely internal, which is carried on between man and man in a State, or between different parts of the same State, and which does not extend to or affect other States. Such a power would be inconvenient, and is certainly unnecessary." Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. 1 (1824)

Subsequent courts have cited that phrase to mean that Congress may intervene when other states ARE affected.

Did any pre-FDR courts commit that logical fallacy?
