Filburn (1942) let Congress use theinterstate commerce clause to regulate even themost trivial activities—neither interstate norcommerce• Kelo v. City of New London (2005) declared thatthe government can seize private property andtransfer it to another private ownerLevy and Mellor untangle complex Court opinionsto explain how The Dirty Dozen harmed ordinaryAmericans. They argue for a Supreme Court that willenforce what the Constitution actually says about civilliberties, property rights, racial preferences, gun ownership,and many other controversial issues.
