The Power of Imagination

Fafblog via Will Wilkinson on Scalia's convenient (and dishonest) misreading of the Commerce Clause:

IMAGINARY COMMERCE!

Commerce doesn't HAVE to be real commerce. We can bring it to life with the power of imagination!

This snowman is not commerce. But we can make him commerce with this ol top hat we found... and if we just believe! Now all the children of the world clap your hands an say together now: "I do believe in an expanded Commerce Clause, I do believe in an expanded Commerce Clause!"

Hilarious! Read the whole thing.
