I am all for the constitution, less government involvement.

Do you think the Wickard decision, which expanded the scope of the Commerce Clause during FDR's reign, is consistent with the clause's original meaning... yes or no?

May I answer that question? I would say mot "NO", but instead I would say

"HELL NO!!!"

IMO, the Wickard decision practically eviscerated the 10th Amendment by judicial fiat...& BOTH Democrats & Republicans have jumped on this w/ glee whenever it suited their purposes.
