The expansion of the federal government's reach under the commerce clause is no longer a grave threat to limited government.

Just wait until the health secretary starts issuing edicts restricting firearm/ammunition sales and telling grocers what products they may and may not offer for sale.

“The expansion of the federal government’s reach under the commerce clause is no longer a grave threat to limited government.”

That may be true, but if so it’s only because the fight is long over. It was a threat 70 years ago and was allowed to win, though eventually we found out it did have a limit. Big deal, there’s another power down the way which has no limit, perhaps unless it threatens free speech or whatever else our betters in the court have arbitrarily decided to protect.

Yeah. In what fantasy world does anyone think that a lawless President (who congress will not stand up to) gives a rat’s ass about a court ruling that claims to restrict the commerce clause?

Obama has openly violated law and the Constitution on a daily basis and suffered what terrible retributions from congress and the courts? Uh, right.
