Amity Shlaes has a new Bloomberg column up on a 1942 Supreme Court case, Wickard v. Filburn, that expanded the federal government's powers under the Commerce Clause of the constitution. She notes a Rasmussen Poll finding that "only 23 percent of Americans believe their government rules with 'the consent of the governed.'" And she suggests "passage of a constitutional amendment that explicitly delineates limits to government intervention in states."
