It still exists but its domestic enemies are in charge now. They have been since the Supreme Court ruled against Miller in 1939. If there was any doubt that should have been erased by the ruling against Filburn in 1942.
I was just reading up on
Filburn on Wikipedia. The page says:
Filburn argued that since the excess wheat he produced was intended solely for home consumption, his wheat production could not be regulated through the Interstate Commerce Clause. The Supreme Court rejected this argument, reasoning that if Filburn had not used home-grown wheat, he would have had to buy wheat on the open market. This effect on interstate commerce, the Court reasoned, may not be substantial from the actions of Filburn alone but, through the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers just like Filburn, its effect would certainly become substantial. Therefore Congress could regulate wholly intrastate, non-commercial activity if such activity, viewed in the aggregate, would have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, even if the individual effects are trivial.
One wonders how much of this reasoning went into the notion that government can create a stream of commerce, and then
require citizens to participate in it [subliminal]
Obamacare[/subliminal].......even if they have other means of mitigating the problem that stream of commerce is intended to mitigate and do not need or want to participate in the government's solution.
