It was a case where a man who was growing wheat on his own land for his own use was penalized by the federal government for growing more than they said he should under FDR’s agriculture laws.
The court ruled that even goods only intended for personal use can affect the flow of interstate commerce, therefore can be regulated by the feds. Overturning it could call into question everything from CAFE standards to the federal minimum wage law.
It’s an exciting idea and I hope it is successful. Rolling back the feds is long overdue.
My memory is that the FDR ag law case was eventually overturned, wasn’t it?
We simply need a SC decision that neuters the “interstate commerce clause” loophole the feds use.
This can be as simple a ruling as affirming what the founders intended by it -
it has to be “commerce”, it has to be “interstate”, and there has to be a dispute between the states involved in order for the feds to step in.
