I'd bet my next paycheck that fedgov is using the Commerce Clause under Wickard v Filburn as their authority.

the Commerce Clause
Somebody ought to write a CLEAR EXPLANATION of the original intent of the drafters of our consitution regarding this clause.
This clause has been the main excuse for every single Federal government expansion since the time of Teddy Roosevelt ( maybe even before ).

Wickard v Filburn was constitutional nonsense. It stands to this day.
Prior to W v. F, associate Justice of the Supreme Court James McReynolds remarked in 1935 that FDR was “Nero at his worst. As for the Constitution, it does not seem too much to say that it is gone.”
