[Steely Tom]

Yesterday he decreed regulations on what sports teams could call themselves.

Today, he decrees what medical treatments elderly people can get?

Who is this guy? Does anyone in California know, or care?

Never mind, I know the answer to that one.

[Amendment10]

I’m not sure where to draw the line on this FDA issue with respect to Congress’s interstate Commerce Clause powers (1.3.1). But since the FDA’s main mission is evidently defined as promoting public health, it would appear that the FDA’s mission is in conflict with the Supreme Court’s clarification that the states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constituton, the specific power to regulate intrastate health issues, not that the fed’s doing so with a proper amendment to the Constitution by state ratification is a bad idea.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

The corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate should have done the right thing by leading Congress to successfully propose an appropriate health amendment to the Constitution before they helped to past legislation wihch established and funded the FDA imo.

In fact here’s what Thomas Jefferson had to say about the Senate helping the feds to overstep its constitutionally limited powers versus amending the Constitution.

"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
