Um, the Commerce Clause didn't unilaterally impose ObamaCare on the country. It simply (arguably) authorized Congress to pass legislation regulating health care. What we're arguing about is whether Congress should exercise its power under the Commerce Clause to give the executive branch more power over the Internet. The language of the statute determines how much, and what kinds, of power the executive branch would get.

What? I never claimed that it did.

Yes, key word arguably.

You missed the point of my post and I apologize for expressing myself poorly. The act of passing legislation is irrelevant to whether the executive branch will exercise the powers in question. Even if we pass legislation with an explicit enumeration of powers, the executive branch will still step outside those enumerations and use the Commerce Clause as the legal basis. My point is that the only thing which will actually limit the powers the executive branch takes is legal precedence, which we don't have right now. We wont see true limits on what the executive branch can do until we see some Supreme Court rulings in this area.
