You think this is a "conservative congress"?

Standby to be surprised what a "conservative congress" really looks like after November.

The constitution clearly defines the role of the Fed government. Besides common defense, regulating interstate commerce is one of the few things its supposed to do.

Congress actually likes to abdicate it's job as much as possible and instead rely on "executive orders" or supreme court codifying policies that apply to all states.

Mandating rest breaks for aircrew members sure seems like regulating interstate commerce to me, but I'm not a supreme court judge or an FAA administrator.

We already have some differences in the way employees of different bases are taxed and use sick leave for example, but those differences from state to state apply just to the taxation and benefits of employees and not the actual working condition.
