Seriously?

From World Net Daily: What does the federal hate crimes law inspired by the murders of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. have to do with an internal dispute among the Amish in which the beards of men and the hair of women were forcibly sheared?
“The scissors used to cut the hair were manufactured in one state and used in another,” explained Edward Bryan, defense lawyer for Amish bishop Samuel Mullet Sr., who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.
Bryan, in an interview with radio host Michael Savage Thursday night, said the Commerce Clause is one of the federal government’s primary justifications for intervening in the dispute in eastern Ohio among members of the Christian sect.
U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach, of the Northern District of Ohio, argued in the indictment that the “Wahl battery-operated hair clippers” used in the assaults “were purchased at Walmart and had travelled in and affected interstate commerce in that they were manufactured in Dover, Delaware.”

So, if you buy a product and cross state lines with it and it is used in a crime, you can be prosecuted with a federal crime?
So, if a product is made in New York, shipped to Nevada and may have been used in a crime, the Fed's can prosecute you on an interstate commerce crime?
That is just plain draconian and insane.
And you wonder why people want to take out the federal government and it's agents.
No wonder many people dislike the federal government.
And this time, it's not even Obama's fault.
