From the article: "In 1942 the Supreme Court held that Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce extended to a farmer growing wheat to feed his own livestock. Sixty-three years later, that expansive reading of the Constitution’s Commerce Clause continues to hold."

Math is hard.

If we add "sixty-three" to "1942" we get "2005", not "2016".

Perhaps the author is basing his comments on something Justice Thomas said in 2005?

“”In 1942 the Supreme Court...”

That would be the congress that flew around in that 70-year-old 747.
