They even executed Timothy McVeigh under the Commerce Clause.

The government contended that blowing up a building interferes with interstate commerce.

Hardly. 18 USC 51, §1114 does not rely on the Commerce Clause.

Thanks, general_re. I believe that you're right on this. I had read differently, that McVeigh was tried under provisions of the Commerce Clause.

I'll look into it later. I'm too tired to think right now.
