    Reason: The interstate Commerce is indeed an enumerated power. This means that although, Lopez was breaking the law for carrying a gun in a school zone, it had no substantial effect on interstate commerce. Congress exceeded the power granted to it by the Commerce Clause. The Court held that, because "production," "manufacturing," and "mining" were within the province of state governments, they were beyond the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause. The result permitted greater regulation by the Congress because it is within the Congress’ power to regulate and protect commerce from burdens and obstructions. The court identified the channels of interstate commerce, the people or things in interstate commerce, and activities that relate to interstate commerce as the three broad categories of activity. The court dismissed the first two options and decided that the case itself was a matter of activities that substantially relate to interstate commerce. The issue was determining whether if carrying a…

    LEXIS 287, ***11; CCH Prod. Liab. Rep. P15,893 the [***12] Court of Appeals. n5 n5 Four months after filing its notice of appeal, Mortenson moved to vacate the trial court judgment and amend its pleadings to include tort claims. The trial court denied these motions and the Court of Appeals affirmed. M.A. Mortenson Co., 93 Wn. App. at 837--39. While Mortenson argues in its supplemental briefing that the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court's denial of these motions, it fails to include this issue in its petition for review. As such, we decline to reach it. RAP 13.7(b). The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court and held (1) the purchase order was not an integrated contract; (2) the license terms were part of the contract; and (3) the limitation of remedies clause was not unconscionable and, therefore, enforceable. M.A. Mortenson Co. v. Timberline Software Corp., 93 Wn. App. 819, 826--37, 970 P.2d 803 (1999). Mortenson petitioned this court for review, which we granted.

It was further alleged that this unfairly restricted the market for competing web browsers (such as Netscape Navigator or Opera) that were slow to download over a modem or had to be purchased at a store.…
