inquest: "Nowhere in these long-standing interpretations did they hold that Congress does not have the power to regulate this power."

Regulate? Yes. Infringe? Absolutely not, and the courts have said so.

1. A regulation is an infringement. That's what it does.

2. I said there were no holdings restricting Congress this way, and there are indeed none. What you posted was dictum, not holding. This has been explained to you before. What is it about that that you're not getting?
