I wonder if one of the workers @ the McD's has a relative that sits high up in the federal court/ag's office.

The Feds understanding of the commerce clause has drifted back it's original intent over time - there was a period before Roosevelt when judicial activism severely limited it from the framers' intent and it's plain meaning.
As a practical matter, if you want to be tough on crime fed prosecutions are the way to go. Sentences are much higher in the federal Courts.

So help me here. You believe, that the Constitution, as written and amended, allows Congress to regulate practically every for of human activity, excepting those that are explicitly protected by the Bill of Rights?

A little consistency would help; either make a Federal case out of every WalMart and 7-11 shoplifter, or stick to crimes clearly defined as Federal jurisdiction.

No, just all those that affect commerce - that they clearly intended and they and the early courts recognized the power to be an extremely broad one.
