Yes Luis, read one commerce clause case a night starting with Ogden v Maryland (I think that is the name, maybe it is McCulloch; the one thing I know is that it was not Gonzalez) instead of playing those silly computer games, and then eat your vegetables. Only then will you be physically and mentally equipped to deal with FIJC.

I just did a quick read-up on the Commerce Clause in FindLaw.com.

I don't see where the Feds are given the power to monitor businesses closely enough to prevent illegal practices.

Actually, it is Gibbons v. Ogden. That is certainly a good starting point.

Next, read U.S. v. EC Knight.

Then read Hammer v. Dagenhart, which is particularily interesting.

Next, if you wish, you should read, Carter v. Carter Coal.

Then, read U.S. v. Curtis Wright, which was a particularily controversial case.

Another silly Supreme Court case you should read is, Wickard v. Filburn.

Would you like any suggestions of concerning the Commerce Clause and Civil Rights? Because Heart of Atlanta Motel. v. U.S. is quite fascinating too.

Constitutional Law can be a real turn-on, you know.
