—That’s what you’re signing on to when you support the Raich decision. Agreed?—

No. I don’t agree. The federal government CAN control some intrastate activity. Slavery, for example.

The federal government CAN control some intrastate activity. Slavery, for example.

That power is delegated by the 13th and 14th amendments, not the New Deal Commerce Clause. Raich depends on the New Deal view of the Commerce Clause, as does fedgov control of health care, et al.

So yes, you are signing on to it when you support Raich.
