This and the marijuana ruling --- where they stretched the Commerce Clause to cover anything and everything, non-commercial actions that don't ever cross State lines (as Thomas said: "there is nothing stopping the federal government from banning swap meets and bake sales now....") --- have expanded the power of the federal government to *gargantuan proportions*.

If we are going to IGNORE the plain language of the Constitution like this, then why bother to pretend reverence to it at all?

The law is now ANYTHING the federal bureaucracy says it is, there are NO States rights anymore, and individual freedoms are on the endangered list.
