It's a good lesson in how to be consistent: The commerce clause boilerplate in the CSA is the same as if every instance of Federal overreaching. The EPA, OSHA, federal laws regarding schools, 1.4 gallon toilets, etc. Either it is a travesty in all cases, or not.

So thanks. And DO read it. And the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers and see if you find this to be an outrage or not. The Constitution and the Federalist Papers were written for anyone to understand. And laws are like Enron's SEC filings, if you can't understand em', they are probably a fraud.

I'm not an absolutist and I don't agree with such a set of values and beliefs. I am a traditionalist and a mainstream conservative, who supports the Constitution as the basis for our freedom and liberty and the American legal and judicial system. Limiting government. Placing lawyer jargon aside, it is important to understand, the Federalist Papers aren't part of the Constitution and have no relevency whatsoever, in the goverance of our Republic. While I strongly support a national government that has a reduced scope of power and influence, one that is smaller and less intrusive into the lives of its people, I'm no anti-govt type, who believes America is better off with chaos and anarchy.
