Comments
Considering the court came to the conclusion that Congress can tax what it cannot regulate it is a meaningless distinction. Besides as an example lawmakers are forever raising sin taxes to discourage users of the taxed product and then are dismayed when users consume less and thus generating lower than expected revenues.
