The biggest mistake ever was to rule that the interstate commerce clause somehow gave the Federal government to take over all these powers that have nothing to do with interstate trade.

That was from a SCOTUS opinion written by Robert Jackson. He said that because a farmer COULD sell crops interstate, even though he in fact did not, that the feds have authority.

He was also the lead "prosecutor" for the US in the Nuremberg Trials, where they did NOT use US/UK law, but rather let the Soviets decide what "law" to use. That included a provision that NO EVIDENCE needed to be presented in order to obtain a conviction.

Robert Jackson was cited by John Roberts as his favorite all-time SCOTUS justice. Karl Rove bragged about this in his book, writing about what was discussed when he interviewed Roberts for the Chief Justice nomination.

Starting to make sense?
