What I find more riduculous than the Wickard v. Filburn case is the fact that it was partially overturned by a gun case.
> Possession of a handgun near a school is not an economic activity and doesn't have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, and therefore cannot be regulated by Congress. The Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990 is unconstitutional.
And even more riduculous is the fact that certain justices dissented on this opinion.
Of course it’s all heavily politicized, but the federal government really loves milking the commerce clause ad absurdum.
