"Even without activist courts regulating interstate commerce is clearly withing the constitutional powers of the federal government." NEVER disputed. (Problem I see is that activist / statist Court decisions have extended federal authority in areas where it has CLEARLY NEVER GONE BEFORE... into areas where the 'commerce' in question is not moving inter-state AT ALL.) "Only the majority, or perhaps the vast majority, of the DEA's powers. You could still have a DEA that went after interstate or international commerce in drugs, without these activist decisions. They would however have no power in in state cases...." Agreed. Except (& this is my earlier point) they DO NOW.
