The problem is abuses of the commerce clause in relation to commission of crimes across State lines is that it is up to a matter of interpretation as to what crosses the line in abusing the commerce clause. I’ve read papers by legal writers on this issue where they contradict themselves 3-4 times as to what constitutes a violation or ‘stepping into’ commerce as an excuse for law enforcement.
The fact is that if a crime occurs across State lines, by today’s laws, it is a federal crime. If you don’t like the interstate justification for federal involvement, go after the root law. Don’t just use it as an excuse to hide behind.
