Apropos to the study of law, tangentially (Part 1)

With the aim of taking breaks from the study of law, a task I perform not whimsically, but with the aim of passing the North Carolina bar exam in July, and to preserve a scintilla of sanity, of which may be saved by select ruminations on the language that may fall out of the law, like apples falling from Newton's tree, I will attempt to spend a modest 10 minutes a day writing a narrative or poem around an excerpt from the Barbri Conviser Mini Review. Enjoy!

The excerpt: "When Congress attempts to regulate intrastate activity under the third prong, above, the Court will uphold the regulation if it is of economic or commercial activity (e.g., growing wheat or medicinal marijuana even for personal consumption) and the court can conceive of a rational basis on which Congress could conclude that the activity in aggregate substantially affects interstate commerce."


To conclude economic
marijuana affects rational 

activity, e.g., 
growing wheat,

the Court attempts
aggregate personal Congress under 

the third prong, 
if it is to conceive.
