I’m always confused when people say this. It’s vague as heck! That one little word in there, “unreasonable,” makes it completely up for interpretation.

I have some astoundingly bad news for you about the entire system of trial by jury which is that virtually the entire thing depends on twelve average people defining the word "reasonable" in the context of your offense.

Do you think this is a reasonable use of power?

Plenty will say yes. We know this.

One of the Constitution's big failings is this sort of thing; deeply vague wording. What counts as interstate commerce? What counts as reasonable? What's considered press activity? What's considered illegal speech?

If you were writing a new one today, you'd define some stuff more.

Im asking you though.

No, you're asking someone else; I'm just pointing out why it's a bit of a pointless ask.
