The question wasn't "What does the Constitution protect us from?"
You're right. Oops.

Now that I think I have the issue corrected in my mind, I think you guys are wasting time looking at the preamble. There is express power for this in Article I, Section 8, clause 3: Congress has the power to "[t]o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

The Constitution doesn't say what policy should be, just that Congress has the power to set policy in that area.
