"It ought to be illegal to sell across state borders," says Crane

Just what part of free trade between states so specifically addressed in the Constitution does this assh*le not understand?

Congress has banned most private interstate transfers of handguns, and those are even supposed to be protected by the Second Amendment. I can't see how anyone could make a plausible (to today's courts) constitutional argument that Congress doesn't have the authority to restrict interstate cigarette sales [btw, if cigarettes can be considered "intoxicating liquors", they'd even have explicit authority as well].
