"The constitution remains what it is." No, the constitution is what the highest courts in the land say it is and as new issues arise and new jurists are seated the constitution shrinks, grows and changes. In other words, it's nuanced and you have to look for shades of gray, not black and whites. "If they interpret the power to regulate interstate commerce to compel non-commerce within a state, than they are simply interpreting it incorrectly." Yes, if the best legal minds this country has to offer take a long, detailed and wide angled view of a provision that's been the subject of brilliant legal analysis for decades and find against your cartoon book opinion, then they must be wrong. Of course I suppose YOU could be wrong. Yes, I think that's probably it because certainty founded on ignorance isn't persuasive. Ed
