1. Can you point to ANY article in the Constitution which grants FedGov the authority to ban anything?

2...there's a MAJOR difference between outlawing a vile trade in human beings and banning the simple posession and use of inanimate objects by consenting adults.

Quick change of tune,heh?

Considering what was the topic of the thread, hardly a change of tune. Of course, you cannot point to any authority for FedGov to ban substances or objects, 'cause it is NOT THERE. Per the founders, FedGov can do ONLY WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS IT MAY, not whatever "feels good" at the moment. You guys are just like the LIBERAL statists: if it ain't there, INVENT IT.
