I question the constitutionality of that clause, outlawing incandescent light bulbs. That stretches the Commerce Clause past its breaking point IMHO.

They've outlawed certain guns, knives, drugs, DDT, Cuban Cigars, tiolets, showerheads, CFCs, and zillions of other things. Do light bulbs have some Constitutional protection I am unaware of?
