I blame FDR. Everything is susceptible of government control. And everything is susceptible of
federal government control. At least with football etc. a single state couldn't regulate it, nor could a bunch of states, since they'd all have conflicting standards (well, they could, but . . .)
BTW, bear in mind that Waxman was making a lot of noise on this. It's hardly a pure Republican effort over Democrat dissent.
