Sigh.......
You aren't making a case for your position. The people of the state created the bodies and voted the legislators into place. Those elected officials passed the statutes through the defined regimen into law.
I am not making my case? Really, let's recap then: I have shown that The United States in Congress assembled has the power to regulate commerce, you have not offered any argument or proof to the contrary, neither have you shown where they would derive the authority to regulate private lives.
I have shown that the individual states ride on the back of CFR Title to enforce "traffic" laws. You have claimed that the states can "force" those but your rebuttal consisted of a "sigh" and nothing else. I'll ask again: if you believe the individual states can "force" the issue then show me where such power and or authority originates from, I am an eager learner.
You are partially correct in the above quote, the only mistake is that our representatives do not write the "codes", they write the laws into the federal and state registers, these laws then get "codified" and that's how we end up with the codified statutes.
