A note on the commerce clause

Posted by David Hardy · 19 February 2007 03:07 PM

After hearing an argument in the Supreme Court, a spectator writes:

"According to the construction now contended for, and what is more than probable will be supported by the Supreme Court, the states can do nothing, which it is not in the power of Congress to regulate; and there is scarcely any change they can can act upon at all – the trade, or commerce, being helpful to the regulation of Congress, is supposed to draw after it almost all power of regulation."

The surprising thing is that this was written in 1824, and the argument was in Gibbons v. Ogden.

Via the Volokh Conspiracy.

Would you care to translate that into English? I understood the words being used, but the context and conclusing they were drawing completely escapes me.
