Here is the actual case. I was close to the name but not correct. Roosevelt, flush from his 1936 landside presidential victory, was outraged and was convinced he had a mandate from the people to continue and expand his New Deal programs. This conflict between the Court and the Executive branches of government led to FDR's court-packing bill in 1937. Although the bill failed, the Supreme Court, fearing FDR's attempt to neutralize them, began declaring his New Deal laws constitutional. By 1942, the Supreme Court had virtually stopped striking down congressional laws passed by New Dealers. That is how the Commerce Clause got expanded to include anything and everything. en.wikipedia.org
