My position is the constitutional position -- the government can regulate the interstate commerce of everything

The SCOTUS disagrees with you.

US v Lopez.

Also US v Morrison

You wouldn't know a Constitutional position if it walked up to you, introduced itself, and smacked your dumb behind silly.

The SCOTUS disagrees with you.

No quote, naturally.

The Act exceeds Congress' Commerce Clause authority. First, although this Court has upheld a wide variety of congressional Acts regulating intrastate economic activity that substantially affected interstate commerce, the possession of a gun in a local school zone is in no sense an economic activity that might, through repetition elsewhere, have such a substantial effect on interstate commerce.

I see some things just never change. Why do you bother? He's a total moron.

Both of those decisions involved Congress' attempt to control a local activity that affected interstate commerce.

I would suggest you save your insults until you're sure of your facts.
