Correct. That decision was effectively the a 20th century
Dred Scott decision in favor of the administrative state, gutting the Commerce Clause's limits on Congress controlling only interstate commerce.
Wickard is also a patent sophistry for conflating potential interstate commerce with actual interstate commerce. It's like arguing a potential murder is an actual murder.

Wickard v. Filburn is the single worst decision in SC history, eclipsing even Dred Scott, which was at least repealed pretty quickly thereafter by the 13th Amendment and “some other actions” in the early- to mid-1860s. Wickard has been afflicting this nation and stealing EVERYONE’S liberties for over 80 years.
