The bill did _not_ "ban" incandescent bulbs, it set minimum

efficiency
standards.

I'm not taking a position, but if it isn't constitutional, neither

are
CAFE standards for automobiles or most any other regulations

regarding
performance levels of any product (say drug effectiveness, for

another
example).



They would do better to set some minimum standards efficiency for
themselves, and then follow the standards.
