If our founders wanted Congress to regulate ALL commerce, and all activity or non-activity that can have an effect upon commerce - then why did they specify only INTERSTATE commerce was to be regulated by Congress?

Well, you see, it depends on what the definition of "interstate" means. On the one hand, it means commerce between states or across state lines.

On the other hand, it doesn't.

See?

Sure sure.

When our founders wrote that Congress will have the power to regulate interstate commerce, OBVIOUSLY, they meant both interstate commerce, intrastate commerce, and any activity or non-activity that could have an effect upon commerce./s
