"INTERstate commerce" is a far larger portion of commerce than INTRAstate commerce. From the food you eat to the clothes you wear, virtually ALL of it involves interstate commerce in one way or another. The federales have inserted themselves into ALL of this activity by simply ignoring the original meaning of "regulating commerce among the several states". It went from coercing the states to make nice with each other to "We are the feral government and we will control EVERYTHING related to commerce, PERIOD." THIS is the much larger problem that is not addressed by these state initiatives re INTRAstate commerce initiatives.
My hope is that these are first steps in a larger strategy to tell the federales to BACK OFF. The next step would be to confine the federales to once again compelling the states to make nice with each other.
True, but whacking it back from "everything under the sun" to "more than was intended" is a good start.
Oh...I see your mixed feelings. The Commerce Clause.
That has been used, abused, and hung up wet!
“We are the feral government”
I know what you mean but...typo...fraudian slip...or what? It doesn’t matter...it’s priceless! I love it and it should be entered into the FR Lexicon! lol
