>But I thought the supreme court was full of activist liberal judges!
That perception should not be mitigated by this ruling. The Supreme Court has, today, simply recapitulated one of the worst rulings in its history, WICKARD v. FILBURN, the summary of which you may read
here.
This ruling essentially established that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution has no effective boundary thereby subjugating any object, with even the most tenuous connection to interstate commerce, to the direct control of Congress.
"with even the most tenuous connection to interstate commerce"Uh, no, that's incorrect. I believe it reads, "substantial effect on interstate commerce".
