Really hate to think your suspicion is correct, but Scalia's reasoning on this dissent was decidedly below par. I am a big fan, Scalia has written dissents that will be cited for a generation to come, but this ain't one of them.

Amendment XVIII(18) was considered necessary to "prohibit the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors."

Very good point. I don't agree with Prohibition, but I will give them credit for going about it the correct way.

I'm waiting to hear that "saving money" is a violation of Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce. Not spending my money has one tremendous effect on both intrastate and interstate commerce.

Also, the fact that a banking corporation, likely interstate, uses it for loans and other things (which is how they get the money to pay you interest) has a significant effect on interstate commerce.
