What Thomas said is true: "the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers". He sounds quite foolish, however when he poses it as an if/then statement.
It is not my fault that, by his own words Thomas sounds surprised by the holding in the 1942 decision.
You know, in the law judges are expected to be familiar with precedent and follow it - or give some compelling argument as to why it should not be followed. Thomas did neither.
Thomas is VERY familiar with the precedent.
He believes that precedent was wrong. Period.
Why is that so difficult for you to understand?
In my copy of The Constitution, there is no wording that states or implies, 'once a judge makes a ruling that becomes law' - Your copy must be different. Justice Thomas' copy is more like mine, I guess.
