I wish she/everyone would mentioned Roberts teacher, . . .
That's a mixed bag. The author of the piece I posted yesterday, a law professor at Yale, argued that Brandeis social security decision is a strong source. Brandies, according to that piece, based his support for SS, in a 5-4 decision, on the taxing power rather than commerce clause. Brandeis' most favored clerk, Henry Friendly, became a highly respected federal appeals court judge who continued that line of reasoning--may still be on the court--I don't know, in many, many cases. John Roberts was his clerk and by all reports the two were quite close.

A fairly strong argument, I submit.
