got that?
offended?
Here's an analogy from Cat:
a home-cooked meal competes with a dinner in a restaurant. Thereby hampering [interstate] commerce. This is done on a massive scale every night of the year, depriving millions of potential restaurant proprietors the chance at a tip and some mark-up. Just think of the potential for lost revenue... so it should follow that Congress has the power to regulate the number of times you eat dinner at home otherwise the entire food service industry would collapse. right?
the analogy i came up with was a service not a commodity:
free sex competes with the sex you should be paying for at a legal [or illegal] brothel. so congress should prevent that sex in whatever capacity they can - perhaps they can outlaw gay marriage on authority of the commerce clause?
WTF?!

with the assumption that i was going to hear about some attempt by the outgoing or incoming pres to lessen or tighten this position i diligently read the whole damn page on W
I then (and only then) turned back to the comments ... my mistake, bad mistake! :) DSD
