Charles E. Wilson was the head of General Motors when it was America's largest corporation. In 1952 Wilson told a Senate subcommittee, "What is good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice-versa." Wilson later served as United States Secretary of Defense under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
You have presented no source material to refute the authoritative source I provided that completely blew away your ridiculous claim as to the meaning of regulate in the late 18th century.
Your statement is handwaving backed up by no quantitative facts, like how much if any of the suburbs of Boston were shut down, what the gun violence rate in those areas (if any) were and so on.
Sorry, you haven't even come close to making an argument.
Just as an informative point, the headline on the TEPCO link is a gross mis-statement of the actual facts.
One third of US born west coast babies are NOT suffering from hyperthyroidism.
What happened is the RATE of hyperthyroidism, which is quite low, increased by 28% for a couple of months, and to a level 16% higher than normal for a period of 9 months.
That corresponds to about 40 cases in 600,000 births. Still a problem but about 1/5,000th of what the headline claims.
Nature, in the production of things, always designs them to partake of certain, regulated, established essences, which are to be the models of all things to be produced: this, in that crude sense, would need some better explication. Locke.
To direct.
Regulate the patient in his manner of living. Wiseman.
Ev'n goddesses are women; and no wife Has pow'r to regulate her husband's life. Dryden.
Sens. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the other lead Senate co-sponsors along with Durbin, argue the bill will actually protect states' rights. They note that it would not force any state to collect taxes, and argue that states that choose to tax online purchases could lower other rates.
The problem with the US is that it has by far the highest incarceration rate in the world. While there may or may not be a directly comparable case the entire legal structure routinely delivers radically out of balance punishments for minor crimes.
In 1970 there were perhaps 200,000 people in US prisons. Today the number has reached an extraordinary 2.5 million.
During this period the number of inmates convicted of violent crime decreased. Estimates are that less than 8% of the population are in for violent crimes. About 6% are not US citizens.
Sooner or later everything will be replaced. I used to have 4 CRTs in my house. Cassette drives for data storage. A laser disk player. Two Sony Beta videotape decks.
In my sock drawer I have a collection of HP calculators spanning 3 decades. I have an 8" floppy with CP/M on it in a closet somewhere.
But is Windows dead? Far from it. It's still the defacto PC OS. Once Microsoft fixes their incredibly stupid error with the UI they will start selling again.
Likewise the desktop PC isn't dead. Many people like me need the hardware capacity of this things. Tablets and smartphones may be fine for some people. I'm not one of them.

So it's 60 years, MINIMUM.

You haven't got a leg to stand on.
Oh and one other thing. The gun violence rate I quoted is FOR METRO BOSTON. Not just the core city.
The central city is 1.7 per 100,000.

Boston shuts down routinely for snow emergencies.
Not a big deal.
You would be very wrong.
Boston has the lowest rate of gun violence in the US at 3.6 / 100k each year.
Since the population is about 600K, that's 22 per year.
These people were killing at a rate of about 1 per day.
Poppycock.
Here is the definition of regulate from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary which was considered authoritative in 1755.
To Régulate. v.a. [regula, Lat.]
To adjust by rule or method.
Nature, in the production of things, always designs them to partake of certain, regulated, established essences, which are to be the models of all things to be produced: this, in that crude sense, would need some better explication. Locke.
To direct.

Personally I think the idea is very bad because it puts a business doing commerce between states open to audits from 50 jurisdictions.
However being a a bad idea is different from being unconstitutional.
I doubt it's unconstitutional.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:[3]
[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;
They have already passed a budget.

Not to mention the marathon finish line was only 1.4 miles away from what is arguably the best hospital in the world.
Maybe on some other planet, but on Earth John Adams did not write the US Constitution.

> China executes prisoners regularly to balance out their prison population.
China executes between 2000 and 8000 people per year. It's horrific. But that is a tiny percentage of the US incarceration rate.
Look at this list:

WHY IS THE US ON THIS LIST? No other western democracy still executes its citizens.
It is time to start asking why the US Justice system is so barbaric.
There are a 6 exceptions to the warrant requirement.

Religion is bad because it gives people a way to manipulate the natural human hatred of the other.
You would have to ask the MIT security guy about that.
Oh shucks. He's dead.
Most terrorist trials have been in NY's southern district.
One can hope.
Considering it's in Watertown he might get a bit of slack on that.
Don't forget shooting several people wearing white ball caps.
The NY Post is not a news organization. They are a marketing organization.
That's too easy on him. Giving him to Bruins fans would be far worse.
Except the FBI have said he's not a suspect?
