Perhaps, but why now? Why not 10, 20, or 50 years ago? And why in such a ham-handed way?

I guess they feel that they lost too much from Roosevelt until Rehnquist, and they want it all back at once, or that's the only thing I can lay it to. You have to remember that they've actually been slowly doing this since Rehnquist, as they voted for right to work states in the south, etc., about that time, and it seems that every year, it something more.
When referring to what happened under Roosevelt, there was a landslide of new laws using the ICC, instead of several decisions over a good bit of time, and that really torqued a bunch of states. Maybe they just couldn't digest it all at once? I used to have a list of all the laws that came into effect at the time, and it was a ton of them, Social Security being a minority to the others.
