Very interesting ruling, although I can't say that I agree with it. I am in accord with Justice Ernest's dissent about labor as a part of commerce.
I would have thought that if the Supreme Court did indeed choose to strike down minimum wage laws, it would have relied on the liberty of contract doctrine, rather than the premise that labor is not an article of commerce.
The constitution explicitly says item of commerce, not article of commerce and we didn't feel that labour could be considered an
item of commerce.
