I am one that believes that the Interstate Commerce Clause is sorely abused.

Yes, but wasn't one of the primary purposes to prevent states from interfering with interstate commerce?

Yes, but you're speaking of a probable motive of the law suits, and not the suits themselves. If you grant someone's motive is sufficient grounds, where do you stop? If all I need to do to enact a law is claim that someone wants to interfere with interstate commerce, then I can enact almost any law. It doesn't matter that we agree about the motive in this case.
