The "substantial effect doctrine" is not the Commerce Clause.
Once you understand that, you understand the Big Lie.
You seem to think there is something you need to enlighten me about, so for the last time: I understand the Big Lie.
I also understand that it’s the Law of the Land. Done, period, finito. The whole thing is a house of bullshit put together so the rulers can rule. Two dweebs on a message board (or 2 million) won’t change that. The vast majoriy of Americans are ok with it. That doesn’t make it right, that just makes it real. So it goes.
