What does "Regulate Interstate Commerce" mean in the US Constitution?

Tweet

Probably the most abused and misused line in the US Constitution, the "Commerce Clause" authorizes the federal government to regulate commerce that crosses state lines. Since the law requires all bills to be justified constitutionally, crooked, ignorant or just plain lazy legislators type "the commerce clause" on all bills when they can't justify the bill honestly. But the clause is in there, so there must be legitimate use of it. There is! There is no authority for the federal government to regulate commerce that happens within the borders of a single state... none, nada.. end of sentence. That authority rests solely with the state, and people of the state. But since no state has the authority to regulate anything crossing state lines, We the People have assigned that to the federal government. But proving to the world why they need to be held to severe limits, the people working in the federal government will beg, borrow and steel, as well as lie through their pearly whites in order to defraud the US Constitution and We the People any chance they get. So they invent authority, or twist the meaning of "interstate commerce" to fit their lusts. Production happening in one state is NOT interstate commerce. On the other hand, production happening in more than one state is. Let's take Harley Davidson for example. Their headquarters is in Milwaukee, WI, but they have plants in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and other states. Ohio and Pennsylvania have no authority to make laws for Milwaukee, so these states can't regulate what Harley does at the corporate level . Since the commerce goes on in more than one state, the federal government can set regulations, as long as those regulations do not violate federal or state laws.. or the US Constitution. On the other hand, since each plant is in the borders of each state, the federal government has NO authority to regulate the commerce Harley does that only happens within each state. The government can't regulate policies where Harley leaders allows the local plant leadership autonomy. Since those policies do not cross state lines. Once something is sold by Harley to a third party, then it is sold. Harley has nothing to do with it. So a load of bikes sold to a distributor in (say) Illinois only falls under "Interstate Commerce" when they are exported to Illinois. If the dealer who buys them only has dealerships in Illinois, no interstate commerce is going on... so it's HANDS OFF! to the federal government. We the People can only enforce the US Constitution if we understand it. We can't just sit around expecting the people in government to be honest.
