A quick definition of affectation doctrine:

The affectation doctrine, also known as the effects doctrine, is a principle in constitutional law that allows Congress to regulate activities within a state that have a significant impact on commerce between states. The name comes from the fact that the test is whether the activity "affects" interstate commerce. This means that even if an activity is conducted entirely within one state, if it has a substantial effect on commerce between states, Congress can regulate it.

A more thorough explanation:

The Affectation Doctrine, also known as the Effects Doctrine, is a principle in Constitutional law that allows Congress to regulate intrastate activities that have a significant impact on interstate commerce. The name of the doctrine comes from the fact that the test is whether a particular activity "affects" interstate commerce.

For example, if a company in one state is producing a product that is sold in many other states, Congress can regulate that company's activities under the Affectation Doctrine. Similarly, if a state's environmental regulations are causing pollution that affects neighboring states, Congress can regulate those regulations under the Affectation Doctrine.

The Affectation Doctrine is an important tool for Congress to regulate activities that might otherwise fall outside of its jurisdiction. By using this doctrine, Congress can ensure that interstate commerce is not unduly burdened by intrastate activities.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
