Nice try, but a hugh and series FAIL!! The Commerce clause, in the clearly stated intent of the Founders, is intended SOLELY to ensure that the states do not set up barriers to interstate trade, such as imposing tariffs on goods coming in from another state or even just passing through, so as to prevent competition to in-state businesses. They specifically noted that FedGov was NOT to have the authority it has USURPED ever since Teddy Roosevelt, Woody Wilson and FDR. So if that’s what you’re hanging your drug warrior hat on, you’re in good Socialist company... and 1,000% WRONG!
Well then I guess you better tell them that they are wrong and that they have no standing under the 10th amendment. I’m sure they will listen to you.
So I take it you’re all for legalization of narcotics too?
Show us all a good example of where doing so has resulted in low crime and a utopia for the citizens.
I’m waiting as are we all.

Guess what. I’m not as wrong as you think. Go here and see what just one (of many) legal sites says about the meaning of the Interstate Commerce clause. http://definitions.uslegal.com/i/interstate-commerce/
You can find more at other sites but I’m not going to do all the work for educating you. It’s a fools game to educate those who already think themselves above intellegence.
I’ve proven my point, yet see nothing in your posts other than your interpretation and assumptions. What you and the other libertarians here believe seems to fall short of the facts and just because you understand something different than the rest of us doesn’t mean you’re right. In some cases we agree on much, but in other cases I don’t see eye to eye with you. On the idea of legalizeing drugs I will never see a benefit to society on doing so.
Have fun voting for Ron Paul. He’ll need all of you to get his 1 percent of the vote again this election cycle.
