The idea that the commerce clause has been restricted is BS. In order for it to be considered precedent it has to be part of the majority opinion which it wasn’t even though 4 other justices included it in their desent.

Exactly, this gives constructionists NO help in limiting the misuse of the commerce clause.

Worse yet, it establishes precedent that ANY wording in a law can be, at the convenience of a justice, rewritten to be called a "tax" despite specific assertions to the contrary by ALL involved parties.
