With the exception of Roe, no decision has done more harm to our republic than Wickard.

[Clump]

The expansion of Congress's commerce clause powers was inevitable after the ill advised passage of the 17th Amendment.
It's all so clear now that the carefully devised separation of powers set up by the Founders was nothing less than shattered by said Amendment and the subsequent expansion of federal power to regulate everything under the sun.
I will note that for all the crap that we (especially me) have given Roberts, at least he didn't join the reasoning of the four lefties in upholding zerocare.
He was careful to not allow the government's understanding of the commerce clause to uphold the horrible law.
His language regarding the commerce clause combined with the dissent actually reflects a slight chipping away of Wickard IMHO.
In this case it will be easy (if Roberts is inclined) to shove this case right down their throats. The language is crystal clear and far from ambiguous. The IRS is basically just asking the court to wink at the issue and say “well that's not what they really meant”.
