Before I respond, let me just clarify one mistake in a prior post. You mentioned:

OK let's see...here is the text of the Commerce Clause:

""To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

That actually isn't the interstate commerce clause. That clause deals with transactions where the state (or foreign nation, or Indian Tribe) is actually a party to the transaction.

Is selling drugs from one person in California to another person in Idaho an act of interstate commerce? If no, what part of the definition of "interstate commerce" is missing? [ QUOTE ]
Of course it is interstate commerce.

Okay, so do you concede that Congress has the ability to regulate these types of transactions? (whether they should regulate them is a different question)

How about a transaction between two residents of California where party A sells the drugs and party B is known to re-sell them in other states. Is the transaction between A & B a transaction involving interstate commerce?
