There is also a little matter of the lack of constitutional authority
for the union government to prohibit anything on state territory except
its own proprietary assets. The power to regulate is not the power to
prohibit, and commerce properly includes only the transfer of title
and possession of tangible commodities from a seller outside a state to
a purchaser inside it. The Commerce and Necessary and Proper clauses
were not intended to confer general police powers. I have begun assembling a list of draft constitutional amendments, most of which merely clarify and do not make substantive modifications. -- Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322, Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 www.constitution.org [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
