Your point that you arbitrarly claim one definition over another?

So you assume regulating sex is what James Madison meant? Can we have some common sense with that cynicism as well? There are three defintions in that link... and you choose?

The sense the founders meant it. Limited. Look at the problems in the Republic prior to the Constitution. Interstate trade wars. Sorry -- but telemarketing is not a trade war.

Somewhere the Commerce Clause lost its tether, and by so doing the fundamental concept of a limited, enumerated federal charter has been lost. OUR rights to deal freely with one another hobbled by the Federal juggernaut -- usurped, stolen.
