Which enumerated power in the Constitution grants the United States the ability to regulate intrastate flight?
- scaryspooky 10y agoBy the same reasoning that the federal government can regulate crop production even if the specific product isn't sold between states (Wickard v. Filburn). I'm sure the same argument could be crafted that intrastate flights affect interstate flight prices, surely this is how the argument would be framed.
