Besides precedent it's still more than that. At the least 14th amendment > No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

And last clause says Congress has three power to enforce this

Right, but Congress passed a law which limited its own scope to interstate commerce. So while the 14th Amendment makes it eligible in general its specific applicability depends on it itself.

And sadly this perhaps qualifies as "due process" in Marion County.

Due process isn't county specific and the judiciary has already stated that wheat that could in theory be sold in another state is interstate commerce Wickard v. Filburn US supreme Court.

I'm not sure what isn't interstate commerce maybe your kids lemonade stand as long as it's more than 100 miles from the state line?

What law is that? I'm not familiar with such a law but can't imagine it would even be constitutional. Eg the law Jack Smith indicted trump with recently is about protecting federal/conditional rights.

Yes, the commerce clause is quite expansive and is interpreted expansively, but at the least this would be a first amendment issue and Congress can enforce that and does

That citation and the quoted bit limiting the law to interstate commerce is already in the first comment you replied to. I think you have misconstrued something.

> ... any work product materials possessed by a person reasonably believed to have a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce...

The law we're all talking about prohibits a government employee from searching or seizing any product materials intended for use in production of communication materials that affect interstate commerce.
