You are much too kind. Today, as the Commerce Clause is used and interpreted, it creates an unlimited, totalitarian Federal Government. There is nothing, as interpreted, that the Common Clause does not justify the Federal Government from doing.

I had an exchange with Dave Camp R-MI, who used the Common Clause to justify some Federal action. I asked him, using his logic, to tell me what is prohibited to the Federal Government. No answer yet, maybe he'll answer at the Obama HealthCare Revival Meeting and Kabuki Theater today. I won't be watching.

Kindness has nothing to do with it. Reading the federal commerce clause cases was a revelation because it showed the deep roots of the broad exercise of the commerce clause.

We are at the beginning of an era in which federal power will retreat due to financial and economic constraints. People tend to eat to excess when an abundance of food is available, but diet they must when the cupboard is bare.
