And when will you FINALLY answer the question that's been repeatedly asked of you: Would you tell us which section of the Constitution you believe delegates to Congress the authority to regulate intrastate drug policies?

Ok, I'll help them out.
The same section that allows the Supreme Court to make up new laws, as they did in Roe v. Wade, and to and the same section from whence they can justify the absence of a market that would be commerce if it existed (Raich) to impact, in some manner the supply or demand int the state which in turn impacts the national [interstate] market and therefore is a matter of interstate commerce (Wickarc).

The little known Article π, Section √e (otherwise known as the Black-Robed God-King Clause)
The supreme court shall have jurisdiction over all laws and the Constitution and may alter or abolish this document at will.
NOW BOW BEFORE US PEASANTS! BOW AND STAND IN AWE AT OUR BRILLIANCE!

It is now case law that the power of Congress to tax and regulate encompasses the following:

"The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control."

J. Roberts

________________________________________________________________

"Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce."

J. Scalia, concurring in Raich
