I’m a little hazy on this as I read it some time ago.

But Mark Levin in “Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America”, said there was a precedent setting case involving a midwestern farmer who was selling wheat. I don;t remember the specifics, but how he was selling it didn’t comply with Federal Law. He maintained he was only selling it in state. The Feds challenged him in court and SCOTUS in a BAD and precedent setting decision said his products COULD cross state lines even though he personally didn’t sell them across state lines and this allowed the camel of federal control to get its nose under the tent and start getting involved in all kinds of regualtions.

Hope Montana wins.
