Did you read my link in #138? This decision might have established that there is indeed a limit:

Congress cannot be the sole judge of the scope of its own powers. Today a majority of the Roberts Court reaffirmed this vision.

So, maybe instead Congress just got reigned in. We know that Congress has been acting as if it has unlimited range and reach of powers for a long time. I'm seeing many opinions now that this thrill ride is over for them. We'll see. That link is worth your while, btw.

“Congress cannot be the sole judge of the scope of its own powers. Today a majority of the Roberts Court reaffirmed this vision.”

The very fact that SCOTUS reviewed the law at all told us that. So did a million previous decisions. That’s what judicial review is all about. We’ve known since Marbury v. Madison at least that Congress isn’t its own judge.

This is drinking piss and calling it lemonade.
