Elena Kagan Refuses To Say That A Federal Law Mandating What Citizens Must Eat Would Be An Abuse Of The Constitution's Commerce Clause

It's a dumb law, but you also have a to be a pretty dumb legal thinker to not believe that the Commerce Clause certainly could not have given the federal government this kind of power. I am not sure idiotic legislation is any worse than a potential Supreme Court Justice that won't even say that a law mandating what an American citizen must eat every day is clearly unconstitutional. Unlike most members of Congress that cannot today be trusted to take their oath to uphold the Constitution very seriously, you would hope that the body known as the Supreme Court whose members have life tenure and specifically the power of judicial review would know better.
