It's especially infuriating that federal restrictions on medical treatment are unlawful to start with (there's no constitutional basis for them).

- Brybry 2y agoI think the Commerce Clause is a pretty sound basis for most FDA regulation. It just gets weird with the overbroad supreme court decisions that are like: "well, stuff that only happens in a single state but that might be used for interstate commerce or somehow impact interstate commerce indirectly" is also covered.
