How on earth can he say minimum wage laws are constitutional?

Federal or State? I can see how state minimum wage laws could be constitutional, but I have more trouble seeing how federal ones could be.

Well if they would follow Lochner, even the state laws would be unconstitutional. Its unfortunate, that the freedom to contract is not given the "strict scrutiny" other so-called "rights" are given in the current law.
