Reply to comment by pioxs in DA Alvin Bragg’s staffer hangs up on ‘bulls–t’ congressional phone call by Gaytaino

Some powers are reserved for the states but the supremacy clause makes clear that the federal constitution and federal laws take precedence over state laws and constitutions.

If we can use the interstate commerce clause to regulate commerce that stays completely within one state as SCOTUS says we can, then in reality the rest of it all bullshit.

Nope, reverse that. Some powers are given to the feds, but the states have all the power not given to the feds.

Yeah I know the theory I’m talking about real life here. The feds tax us more and control the vast majority of the things that affect us everyday.

The fact that interstate commerce clause allows the feds to control commerce that never leaves a states boundaries is all you need to know for who is really in control.
