The Commerce Clause has been interpreted so broadly that there's literally nothing that it can't apply to. Wickard and Raich held growing your own plants on your own land for exclusively your own consumption was interstate commerce because *maybe* you would have bought from another seller and that somehow maybe affects the 'overall market' which is interstate.
With that level of indirect, tenuous, theoretical possibilities based "logic" the outcome of any Commerce Clause case is decided simply by choosing the outcome desired based on politics, policy, or bribery, then working out the justification.
