Is the Commerce Clause a Good Policy?
The Constitution says that the feds can regulate commerce between the states. Conservatives don't like this because historically, the feds have used that power to pass progressive legislation. But that's not an actual constitutional reason to strike laws down. The conservatives are upset that the government is passing socially liberal legislation and they're trying to throw as many wrenches at it as possible. And I think it's important to talk about the impact of US v Morrison on women and what remedies were left for victims of gender based violence.
