Given that, and Wiklard v. Filburn, we are pretty much screwed.

Royally:

"...the authority to enact laws necessary and proper for the regulation of interstate commerce is not limited to laws governing intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce. Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce."

--J. Scalia, concurring in Raich (2006)

I am thinking - dare I say it - Scalia will support obamacare.

But, who knows.

Correction... Raich was decided in 2005.
