The idea behind Wickard is so fundamentally at odds with the concept of a limited federal government that I simply cannot understand why it hasn’t already been overturned. The case stood for the proposition that a farmer cannot even grow food for his own family on his own farm, because of the fact that by doing so he will reduce demand for the food produced by other farmers (including some across state lines), thereby upsetting some 5-year master plan dictated by the Politburo errrr, Department of Agriculture.

And yet GWB, who professed to want "original intent" SC justices sent his Justice Department lawyers before the Supreme Court to argue to uphold it in the Raisch case.....

...the Raisch case...

Was that the case where Wickard was cited by (Roberts?, Alito?) in the majority opinion? Do I just recall incorrectly?
