"They [inspection laws] form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embraces everything within the territory of a State, not surrendered to the general government: all which can be most advantageously exercised by the States themselves. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass."
"No direct general power over these objects is granted to Congress; and, consequently, they remain subject to State legislation."
That is stare decisis, isn't it?

The Commerce Clause unquestionably permits this.
Am I mistaken, or did he just endorse Wickard, not as stare decisis, but as his own judicial philosophy?
