Kenneth, Think about how much interstate commerce has expanded from the time the Constitution was adopted. The power to regulate that commerce expanded as the amount of commerce expanded. There was no railroads or interstate highways. The framers intended the power to expand as the amount of commerce expanded.

Thanks for the information. In other words, the Court considered the Constitution as a "Living Document." :) And, we have had Conservative Courts as well as Progressive Courts. Now, we still have a Conservative Court with Chief Judge Roberts appointed by Bush.

I think some of our threaders need to go back and read so the Courts interpretations before they jump to conclusions and make judicial statements. They need a lawyer to interpret the law and case law!!!!

Thanks again.

Egyptians Planning 'Million Man' Anti-Israel March
Egyptian protest organizers are trying to muster a 'million man protest' outside Israel's embassy in Cairo

WikimediaCommonsEgyptian daily al-Youm al-Saba'a reported Wednesday that Egyptian protest organizers are calling for "a million-man protest" outside Israel's embassy in Cairo on Friday.

The protesters, using Facebook and other social media venues, say the focus of the demonstration will be the demand to have the Israeli ambassador expelled from Egypt and Israel's embassy in the capital closed. Recalling an ambassador is considered a step towards the cessation of peaceful relations between countries in diplomatic circles.

Meanwhile, protesters continue to demonstrate outside the embassy for the fifth day in a row, calling out, "Expell the ambassador immediately." Others gathered outside the ambassador's Cairo residence and called fellow citizens to join them in order to "force the ambassador to leave Egypt."

Anti-Israel protests erupted in Cairo last weekend following reports that at least three Egyptian security officers were inadvertantly killed during a firefight between IDF forces and the terrorists who perpetrated the deadly terror attack near Eilat that left eight Israeli civilians dead last Thursday.

The protesters burnt Israeli flags and threw fire crackers at the embassy building in hopes of igniting the Israeli flag at the embassy. An Egyptian youth later climbed the building and took the Israeli flag down.

The border-fire incident has stirred a diplomatic crisis between Jerusalem and Cairo. Egypt's cabinet said Sunday an Israeli statement expressing regret for the border deaths was not enough, but it stopped short of recalling its Tel Aviv envoy. Israel has determined at least three of the terrorists involved in last Thursday's attacks originated in the Sinai, contrary to previous Egyptian claims Sinai terrorists were not involved in the incident.

The protesters are demanding that the peace treaty with Israel be altered, especially with regards to military presence in Sinai, or completely abolished. The re-militarization of Sinai by Egypt would be a death knell for the 1979 Camp David Accords, which could potentially result in open armed conflict between the two nations.

Egypt's caretaker junta on Wednesday said it planned to develop the Sinai near the Israeli border, while IDFchief of staff Benny Gantz has said he plans to bolster Israel's military strength along the boundary due to last week's attacks.

9-Month-Old Baby Hurt in Rocket Attack on Southern Israel

Arutz Sheva: Hatzolah Rescue ServiceResidents of southern Israel raced for cover again Wednesday night as Grad Katyusha missiles slammed into Be'er Sheva and Ashkelon.

In Ashkelon, a 9-month-old baby was hurt at about 11:00 p.m. when a missile hit the car in which she was traveling, causing it to explode in flames. A second rocket aimed at the Ashkelon Coastal region landed in an open area.

Gaza terrorists fired two missiles at the 200,000 residents of Be'er Sheva at about 10:30 p.m. The Iron Dome anti-missile system managed to intercept one of the rockets, but the other exploded within the city limits.

Two short-range Kassam rockets also landed in the Eshkol Regional Council district, exploding in open areas. No physical injuries or damage was reported.

A total of at least 12 rockets had been fired at southern communities by 11:00 p.m., peppering the areas around Ofakim, Netivot, Ashkelon, Be'er Sheva and elsewhere in the western Negev.

The unstable security situation had forced authorities to cancel the "Breeza" festival events scheduled for this evening (Wednesday) in Ashkelon. Earlier in the day Home Front Command ordered Gaza Belt residents to remain within a 15-second range of safe spaces or bomb shelters.

Israel Air Force pilots foiled an attempt by Gaza terrorists at approximately 11:00 p.m. to launch another rocket attack on southern Israel. The IDF confirmed a direct hit on the terror squad, and told reporters that all personnel returned safely to base.

Early Wednesday morning the IAF eliminated a local Islamic Jihad commander based in Rafiah, the city that straddles the Gaza-Egypt border.

Two other terrorists in separate locations in Gaza were targeted in IAF air strikes Wednesday morning as well while attempting to launch rocket attacks on southern Israel. Direct hits were confirmed in each case

The framers intended the power to expand as the amount of commerce expanded.

Please cite a reference for that claim.

I'm still waiting for a reference for that claim as I asked for two days ago:

Either convince me that's what the Framers intended or retract your claim without evidence.
