The amendment will probably never happen.

Neither will any sort of legal action to repeal the court decision  :lulz:

Well, just because its right, doesn't necessarily make it constitutional....

In the 1920's Congress tried to add an amendment to the constitution to place laws about Child Labor into the hands of Congress. However, that amendment failed. A couple decades later they simply passed a law forbidding it and defended it under interstate commerce laws.

Child labor is abhorrent... but the question of constitutional support for a federal law on it is valid.

If goods are sold across state lines they are certainly covered by interstate commerce clauses.  A brewery or Winery could make a case that the law does not apply to them, as they are not allowed to sell across state lines in many cases, but any other business is fully capable of it, so they'd have to comply.

Nope, sorry. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn



The fact that he didn't choose to export doesn't change the fact that he was able to export.  Beer and Wine producers are not able to export, in many states.

But that case wasn't decided on his ability to export.

Filburn argued that since the excess wheat he produced was intended solely for home consumption it could not be regulated through the interstate Commerce Clause. The Supreme Court rejected this argument, reasoning that if Filburn had not used home-grown wheat he would have had to buy wheat on the open market. This effect on interstate commerce, the Court reasoned, may not be substantial from the actions of Filburn alone but through the cumulative actions of thousands of other farmers just like Filburn its effect would certainly become substantial. Therefore Congress could regulate wholly intrastate, non-commercial activity if such activity, viewed in the aggregate, would have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, even if the individual effects are trivial.
