“If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything — and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers”

-Judicial Ruling under Wickard & Filburn


Nope. The quote is from Justice Thomas’s dissent to Gonzales v Raisch, the case George Bush pushed through the USSC.

Sorry, but you are off-track.

Wickard v Filburn was a case brought to the United States Supreme Court that drastically increased the amount of economic regulatory power the United States government employed.

Towards the conclusion of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 which purposely decreased production in the agricultural sector by paying subsidies to farmers that did NOT plant on parts of their land.

As well as the subsidies, the United States urged farmers to kill any excess livestock they may have.
