In class today, Monday 4/10, we first reviewed the argument in NFIB v. Sebelius that we discussed last week, the language of the constitution regarding creation v. regulation of activity. We then looked at Roberts' opinion in terms of precedent, and the various arguments made by the government. We talked about the necessary and proper clause, and I went over the case of Gonzales v. Raich. We reviewed the opinions by Ginsburg and Scalia.
