Marbury v. Madison had nothing to do with the commerce clause and I never implied that it did. I brought it up to counter you premise that Madison’s integral role in writing the Consitution somehow gives extra weight to his interpretation of the commerce clause.

The Constitution was a collective work, and while Madison committed the verbiage to paper, he wasn't the original author of all of it. He was of the Commerce Clause, however. What's your opinion of Joseph Story and his writings on the Constitution?
