Scalia must be pleased:

...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.

Scalia concurring in Raich

“Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.”

Even Scalia has gone over to the dark side.
