"that the citizens of one or more of these United States would approve of the legalization of child pornography"

So you're saying that Congress' commerce clause powers should extend to state activity only for the "really bad" things that might affect other states.

How would you word that in the U.S. Constitution?

He didn't say that at all. With all due respect, I think you are sorely lacking in the basics of how Federalism works. You asked a "what if" question about state law. Tacticalogic responded to you, and now you are somehow shifting that over to his views of Federal Law and the Commerce Clause. Please bone up a little on your reading and then come back to us.

No, you're saying that unless Congress' Commerce Clause power covers anything that you can imagine might have some affect on another state, the states will be be able to do "really bad" things.
