They should have shot Wickard, and sent Filburn to Congress.
Spot on. If you think Wickard was bad try this one:

That one is the one that started all this. It violates the 10th Amendment and ignores the strict restrictions found in the Constitution on FedGov.
After this one, Wickard was just a matter of time. They essentially ruled that a US government can manage the economy. It’s a socialist ruling.
Wickard just took it to its ridiculous end.
