Alice In Wonderland. The CSA findings ARE the arguments for the act's Constitutionality.

What a gem this is. Do the Dred Scott findings of 1838 re-instate slavery? In the law, the Founding Clause is trumps over anything, the Bill of Rights is trumps over the individual clauses of the Constitution, and the Constitution is trumps over everything else. Regulations stand very low in this hierarchy, and findings even lower. When it comes to foundations and justification, the law flows downhill from the Declaration of Independence, through the constitution, not uphill, and particularly, not uphill from regulations that weren't even penned by Congress.

the CSA findings are the Congress's excuse not to intervene and make the the DEA follow the CSA law as it had been previously laid out. It hasn't the force of law at all, it doesn't even have the force of a judicial finding, much less the Constitutional.

Nor does it stand up to the light of honesty and wide-scope accounting. From which all valid law nullifies bad law.

No. Never read the decision, huh?
