The greatest Supreme Court opinion of the last 100 years. Since that unfortunately doesn't answer the question, sound.

Unsound unfortunately - selling food to people does not constitute interstate commerce whether it passed through it before or not.

Correct, but likely overbroad.  Given the circumstances, Furman's conviction probably should have been overturned regardless of whether the death penalty was involved.

Gregg v. Georgia, specifically the Woodson v. North Carolina and Roberts v. Louisiana cases that were consolidated into that case.

Sound in outcome. But the Court would perhaps have been better off jettisoning some of the precedents it chose to distinguish.
