I've known you for years, so I will resist the urge to unload, and politely remark that there is no mix at all to this bag. The ability to force commerce changes everything, and as Ayn Rand correctly observed,

Okay, so it’s a mixed bag of turds. Is there anything that can’t be flushed if we can elect the right people to the house and senate?

Love your Ayn Rand quote. I’m glad you posted this thread; there is no other way to look at this opinion other than a turd. It radically changes the social contract by completely destroying the concept of limited government. There is no absolutely NO limit to the power of the Federal Government. About the only “rights” we now have are procedural; all the government needs to do is get a judge to rubber-stamp something, and it is done.

Oh, and by the way, this ruling also completely guts the 5th Amendment Takings Clause. The socialists have been drooling for years over getting their hands on the pot of money sitting in everyone’s private retirement accounts. The Takings Clause was the only thing that kept their grubby hands off. That’s gone now; the Federal government is now free to “tax” those funds all they want.

Our Republic was nice while it lasted but it’s dead as a doorstop now.
