The decision laid to rest the fact that possessing a gun did not equate to a form of COMMERCE which the federal government could regulate.

It held that the Lopez standard does NOT apply to illicit drugs.

. . . based on their understanding or finding of what constitutes commerce. For the last time, what constitutes commerce is at issue here, Roscoe---nothing else. I'm not arguing the fact that the federal government has the authority to regulate interstate commerce.

God, please tell me you don't practice law for a living.
