So the idea of the federal government wanting to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to minors, while arguably a good thing, is nontheless outside the scope of Congress's Commerce Clause powers imo.

And so long as the majority (or at least majority party) consider it a "good thing" they are willing to overlook the Constitution. It's so sad.

Not only is it sad that the public supports it, but it's even more disheartening that we have a judicial branch that's also willing to support and facilitate it time and time again.

As I've ranted in similar threads, the problem is that parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

On a related note, I think that even conservative legal professionals, including justices, got indoctrinated in college instead of being taught the federal governments limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood.
