You need not have "studied" Wickard to know the gist of it. As I'm sure you're aware, it was the landmark case during FDR's time that greatly expanded the reach of the Commerce Clause. It is what has allowed federal control over health care, education, what light bulbs you can buy, etc.

So I ask again, do you think the Wickard decision is in keeping with the original meaning of the Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment... yes or no?
