The author should also have called out Kelo vs. City of New London (2005) for its effect of eliminating private property rights.

Yeah, it surprised me too that Kelo was not mentioned, as well as one from (I believe) 1934 that upheld prosecution of a farmer for raising enough feed for his own cattle that it *interfered w/ interstate commerce* (as opposed to his having to purchase feed from another party). The case was not about his selling to others, but strictly for feeding his own herd. Just crazy.

...Therefore a case of criminalizing ‘refusal’ to buy a good or service, way before Obamacare began to wield the IRS as a bludgeon against us all.
