IN RE | Russia v. Ukraine (RAW-WAR)

 (This post is semi-edited and on-going. Basically a rant.) 

War always affects the common people, the engine of society. Always the people that didn’t make the policies that created the conditions that lead to War. The Ukrainian-Russian War creates an abstract idea that all Ukrainians agreed to fight all Russians. Statements and Generals made decisions, and common citizens died. Soldiers following orders died. 

The entire War is horrific but the image of evacuating the children’s hospital was particularly haunting for me. I have the privilege of being on the other side of the world and viewing a screen. As haunting as the images are, I cannot begin to imagine the in person experience.

IN RE | All My Exes Lost Power in Texas

Intrastate v. Interstate

The state of Texas has an intrastate utility system. Intrastate means completely within the state. Interstate, comparable to a highway, means between multiple states. 

Federal v. State Regulations

“To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes” U.S. Const. Art. I, § 8, cl. 3.

The federal legislature is given the power to regulation commerce that crosses state lines; interstate commerce. Intrastate commerce, that happens exclusively within a state, can be still subject to state regulation. The absence of federal regulation, does not automatically mean there is an absence of ALL regulation.
