I hope that you are aware that by the early 1940s that Constitution-ignoring socialist FDR had established a majority of state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices who were wrongly expanding the federal government’s powers from the bench.
And regardless what FDR’s thug justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), it remains that an earlier generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.
”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 federal court is hearing this case under diversity [emphasis added] jurisdiction, ..."
Note that the word “diversity” is not a constitutional term.
