there is no limit to Congress’s powers under the Commerce Clause

That "may" be how the court rules. If so, the "limit" to Congress's power will be reached in November of 2012.....scorched earth....

Is it possible in best case to turn the Senate completely GOP, even past the known wafflers?

Adding more justices to the Court would be a way a conservative Congress with a conservative President (somebody like Cain, not like Newt) could cement an advantage. Hey if FDR can pack it, why not Cain?

You aren't going to get a House any better than the one we have now - waffling, talking big then caving. You aren't going to get 60 Republicans in the Senate, much less 60 conservatives. That would require 75 Republicans. 20-30% of Republicans are really Democrat infiltrators who vote mostly conservative until it matters. That's why you get stuff failing by ONE vote, like the Abortion and Balanced Budget Amendments some years ago. You think you're close but if you got 15 more REAL conservatives, important matters would STILL fail by one vote.
