FDR did something like this in ‘35 or so. A farmer was growing wheat for his family’s own consumption and FDR passed a law requiring farmers to engage in interstate Commerce and so be subject to the Commerce clause.

History repeating itself. I bet all of the farmers who have been existing off the democratic tit all these years will be outraged.

Then again, they’re democrats, they probably won’t even notice.

'Twas FDR's cowed Supreme Court, actually. In one of the first big cases to spring up after his "pack the courts" threat, the Supremes showed that they were now his little Chia pets. (They had shown some spine in a few decisions just before his threat.)

The court case was Wickhard v Filburn. It was a lovely way for FDR to announce the death of the Tenth Amendment without having to go to the press about it. Grr.
