So we’re depending on the Federal Govt to put limits on itself?

Sadly, we have to. Other examples of already-inculcated overreach (all of which should be reexamind and, hopefully, eliminated):

Medicare
Social Security
DOE
Federal War on Drugs
Patriot Act

I am sure between all of us we could come up with 100s of similar examples.

I hope this ruling is used to get the ball rolling on scaling the Federal Gummint back to what the Constitution says it is supposed to be.

We may as well have a unitary government if "Federal" has no meaning. What's a federal system for? So we can each design our own flag?

...and that works so well. Just look at the debt ceiling(s)
