court-packing expansion of the Commerce Clause for that.
That's part of it, but the Right has been just as guilty of these kinds of excesses. It has been the Right that has insisted we stick our nose into the business of other nations even though we have no national interest at stake. It is the Right that has decided to be everyone's Daddy and tell them what they can drink/smoke/snort and in what manner they may have sex and whether their romantic arrangements will be recognized by law. The fact is that neither side wants freedom, it wants the power to push and shove and tell everyone else what to do. Sadly, the people would rather be coddled by imaginary government goodness than be free citizens...
