Perhaps you need to reread, assuming you can of course, Mr. Paulsens original assertion.

Just zip back up the thread and find it. Feel free to move your lips if you like.

He said that Congress can regulate 'anything' in the name of Interstate Commerce.

SCOTUS disagreed.

Next time try actually reading what was said in the thread. It may help prevent you from looking the fool. Nothing could prevent that entirely of course, but help it may.

Perhaps you need to reread, assuming you can of course, Mr. Paulsens original assertion.

He said that the government can regulate the interstate commerce. The court said that the possession of a gun in a local school zone was NOT an economic activity and did NOT have substantial effect on interstate commerce.

I read through your misrepresentation a mile away.

"He said that Congress can regulate 'anything' in the name of Interstate Commerce."

Lurker, you know how I hate to be misquoted. I'll give you a pass this time, but be forewarned that I will hit the abuse button the next time you do this.

I never said Congress can regulate anything in the name of Interstate Commerce. I very clearly said, "the government can regulate the interstate commerce of everything".

If you disagree with that statement, and it sounds as though you do, then simply tell me what interstate commerce Congress cannot regulate. That shouldn't be too difficult for one who is so sure of their position.
