Default Re: Where In The Constitution...

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[ QUOTE ]

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.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

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?
