Agreeing with the Ninth Circuit?
Samizdata does, and, remarkably, so do I?
Wickard v. Filburn, which Samizdata correctly calls "one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever", upheld a government prohibition on a farmer growing more wheat, because the wheat, even though consumed entirely by the same farmer's cows, was indeed "in Interstate Commerce" accoridng the the majority. (Though it should be noted that this was the cowed Supreme Court that had only narrowly avoided a Court-packing five years earlier).
The Ninth Circuit ruling seems to conflict with Wickard v. Filburn, which is a surprising twist for this normally government friendly Court. Stay tuned.
