Quote by: Chancellor  I'm well aware of Congress' limited power with regard to regulating interstate commerce. Also, Supreme Court decisions are not amendments to the Constitution and they are not legislation. |
Yet when the supreme court sets a ruling it sets the tone for all future cases unless the court later sees reason to bring it to question again.
If one of these bills is passed, the automakers might take it to the courts but there is no reasoning behind a court objection to the bill.

Quote by: Chancellor One might try to stretch it out to result in that conclusion but regulating interstate commerce does not mean regulating how a product is manufactured. |
The manufactured product is sold to consumers. As a commerical sale the fed can regulate the critera the product must meet. They already regulate for safety, other standards are fair game.
