Unfortunately the guy who wrote the opinion was a Reagan appointee who had previously been a rock-ribbed conservative. Wonder who got to him!?

As a lower court judge, he has to follow Supreme Court precedent. If you read his full opinion, he obviously doesn't think this is a good idea, but he believes that Supreme Court precedent has put virtually no limits on the Interstate Commerce power.

Reagan was not a rock ribbed republican himself.. he was a RINO leaning toward conservative..
Not to be compared to current RINOS.. who are basically democrats..
Not many ex-democrats are rock ribbed conservatives..

Its hard to remove the democrat from the democrat..
what made them a democrat in the first place is still “in them”..

Democrats love democracy thats why they are called democrats..
Democracy was, is now and always will be Mob Rule by mobsters..
