McIntire, a 19-year-old student at Boston’s University of Massachusetts, appeared in federal court Friday and has been charged with one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and one count of malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce.
I’m not a lawyer but the feds claiming it as a federal case because cars could be used in interstate commerce seems lame. Should be a Missouri case, not a federal case.
They are pushing for federal because it involved Elonazi’s Swasticars.
The rule of law isn’t important anymore.
The rule of law is dead. Enter the age of action and consequence.
Bullshit expansion of the commerce clause has been ongoing for at least 100 years.
c.f. Swift & Co, 1905 (?) and Wickard 1942
I loves me Wickard v. Filburn which held that a farm not doing interstate commerce could be regulated by the Commerce Clause because the lack of commerce affected interstate commerce.
