The original Agricultural Adjustment Act was passed in 1933, well before our involvement in the war. Even the revised Act was passed in 1938.

Its constitutionality as regulating interstate commerce was never questioned. It only became an issue when Filburn sued the Secretary of Agriculture to prevent the enforcement of the Act because his actions were purely intrastate. This occurred in 1941.
