Not that long ago in constitutional jurisprudence terms. It is almost 30 years more recent than Wickard, which is already being cited in support of the individual mandate. Also, Griswold is the most direct basis for Roe v. Wade and is one of the social left's sacred cows in jurisprudence.

The Administration will no doubt try to distinguish the current case from Griswold, but they certainly aren't going to argue for overturning it.

Yes, when upholding the Constitution meant something to nearly everyone; when the Constitution was the Constitution, not some "living" thing.....
