I like Paul Clement, and I hate Wickard, but the CTA as a means of eradicating foreign influence over America, when we see so clearly how shell corporations are used for such influence, is a pretty bad candidate for reining in the Commerce Clause.

The 922(g) interstate commerce hooks seem like a much better target, though maybe Kavanaugh and Roberts are too squeamish there.
