“Wellll, there was a case in Pa. a few years ago when a tugboat lost control of it’s barges and went over a dam. Two or three tugmen were drowned. Of course, it all depends on how much of the river will be off limits to fishermen. Either way, I can see it’s a state’s issue.”

You know to “regulate Commerce” means to make regular not to obstruct or to prohibit or to make safe. Just to make regular as in abolish state barriers to commerce. Washington over the last 100 years has run away with that clause to justify everything under the sun.

This act which concerns safety has nothing to do with commerce, nor any regulations there of.

You may be under the mistaken impression this government stays within its constitutional boundaries. It hasn’t since Washington was President. It’s been one encroachment after another for over 200 years.
