the power of congress, from the beginning of the republic, to regulate interstate commerce under Art 1 as confirmed by early cases argued before the Sup Ct, mainly by Daniel Webster and that Congress prohibiting states from restricting interstate competition by ins cos is in no way analogous to sup ct cases that too broadly defined interstate commerce under Art 1.

But as to the import of what your comment does imply, I would refer you to Webster and Marshall’s “power to tax (regulate) is the power to destroy”, although I suspect that statement is not quite on point with what you fear from Congress.

I would add this: much of what the sup ct did w/respect to interstate commerce rulings that were not correct, we would probably preferred to have been made allowable by amendment. Not all but much. But I do loathe sup ct rulings like that.

However, I do think interstate commerce would allow for many remaining state regs, even if I wouldn’t prefer many of them.

But I really don’t think I have enough info to get your supposed disagreement, so please feel free to more fully state your case.

I won’t be offended if you talk to me like a 5 yr old!

smile!
