Laws like this at the national level? No, not according to the Constitution. At the state level? I have no problem with it. Oh, I forgot, SCOTUS destroyed what was left of the 10th Amendment yesterday

This is pretty clearly interstate commerce, and it has been well established in this country that the fedgov can regulate that. Too often, they push the bounds of what can justifiably be called interstate commerce, but this isn't one of them.

Doesn't the Constitution mention something about regulating Interstate Commerce (Article I Section 8 to be exact: To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states...)?

I'm quite sure that all of the calls I get are not exclusivly from my home state.
