Question to Justice Roberts:
Can the government force you to buy food, by denying you the right to grow your own?

There was some speculation earlier that this decision could overturn WvF...

That piece of crap needs slapped down, or the leftists WILL tax you on your backyard garden, if only to keep you from being independent.

It already did that - Wickard v. Filburn The farmer in that case was prohibited from growing food for himself because it would have "a substantial effect" upon interstate commerce. W v. F also needs to be overturned - and this case may be the mechanism for that. So I pray.

Nice jab at Wickard which should be overturned.
