[QUOTE="Belthos, post: 2107861, member: 24944"] [url]http://www.enotes.com/wickard-v-filburn-reference/wickard-v-filburn[/url] This helps to explain where the federal government's use of the commerce clause became corrupted. A farmer was sued by the government for planting more wheat than the law allowed, he claimed the wheat was never going to leave his farm and never be sold, it would be used only to feed his own animals. The government said that was unfair as it meant it would hurt other farmers because he would no longer be forced to buy feed from them. The story is more complicated and involves the executive branch threatening the Supreme court and replaced judges that didn't agree with it with ones that did, even threatening to double the size of the supreme court by up to six more judges until FDR got his way because the "new deal" packages were being ruled unconstitutional. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Procedures_Reform_Bill_of_1937[/url] In a nutshell the commerce clause allows the federal government regulatory power over matters of trade between states. They cracked that nutshell and used the jaws of life to open the nut so wide that they interpreted it to mean they had absolute power over anything that could AFFECT commerce. Abusing the chaos theory whereby everything in the universe affects everything else for example. In south Africa a butterfly sneezes, the expanding ripple of atmospheric disturbances eventually results in a hurricane hitting north Carolina. The government claims that EVERYTHING AFFECTS interstate trade even if you aren't selling anything to anyone so they have absolute authority to legislate anything. Belthos [/QUOTE]
