...fact that the main intent of Congress in passing the act was to deal with "what it considered a moral wrong," does not affect its validity under the commerce clause, Clark ruled.

Though the moral and political effort here is unassailable, the art was depressing. A Raoul Dufy watercolor stood out (any time that happens, you are in serious trouble).
