Incoherent drivel.

What a twisted paradigm.
If there really is a “decades-old Supreme Court precedent recognizing federal authority to regulate entirely intrastate activity if exempting that activity would undercut federal regulation of interstate activity”, it needs to be trashed.

There is court precedent, but the Constitutionality of such a decision that assumes that the court followed the constitution. That hasn’t happened since the Roosevelt administration neutered the court in 1937 by threatening to increase the court from 9 justices to 15 after they declared elements of the New Deal to be unconstitutional in a 5-4 vote.
The court backed down, Justice Roberts changed his vote and declared the New Deal to be constitutional, and the SCOTUS lost all constitutional legitimacy.
The Interstate commerce clause has been perverted to mean anything the Feds want it to mean. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
Our government is beyond fixing. It was a nice experiment, but its imminent failure due to fiscal irresponsibility is unavoidable. Sadly, it is likely to be replaced by a dictatorship.

The ‘losers’ of the original debate over limitation of Federal power includes Thomas Jefferson, whom the Democrates used to claim as the founder of their party.
As to its ‘imminent failure’, I would not yet count out our political systems ability to self-correct. If it were to be replaced by a dictatorship, we would see how many real ‘son’s of liberty’ still reside in this land.
