You don’t know what a monomaniac is? It means a pathological obsession with one thing. A good example would be a president teaming up with other evil nations in a war against the one evil nation against which he had a vendetta. I’d have thought that’s simple enough.

“The only point I can make out of your response to address is...Roberts was addressing the misappropriation of the intent of the clause.”

That doesn’t address my point. I think you mean misinterpretation. If so, he’s a bad judge, for original meaning controls, not intent. Addressing the misinterpretation of the commerce clause is a good thing, because SCOTUS has had it wrong at least since Gibbons v Ogden. But I give Roberts little credit.

Firstly, it was only dicta. Secondly, it was all too obvious it didn’t apply. Thirdly, it didn’t push back on ground won, only refused expansion. Fourthly, it expanded another clause to the moon and back, so what’s the point?

It is good that you are confident in that which you post. You make no sense to me.
