You seem to think that the Founding Fathers didn’t really give the federal government the authority to regulate interstate commerce.

But what do you think about child pornography produced in another country and transmitted via the internet to the US, who has the authority to regulate that?

I believe they gave them the authority to regulate interstate commerce, as that power was understood and intended at the time it was granted.

I believe that's within the pervue of the States. Have I given you any reason to believe that I don't think it is?
