Despite the Constitution limiting the federal government to regulating commerce between the several state, the Court today, once again, rules that it includes commerce wholly within a state.And, as Thomas pointed out in his dissent, there wasn't even any commerce involved whatsoever. So what SCOTUS just upheld was the right of the federal government to regulate just about any ACTIVITY within a state.

So far it's all been emotional tripe.
