This case is not nearly as bad for conservatives as is being portrayed. In fact, this ends up being a net positive. The court just dealt a decisive blow to liberal arguments on the commerce clause, completely diffused arguments regarding the court's so-called activism, galvanized conservatives and gave us the best fundraising pitch you could possibly imagine.
This is why I am a fan of Chief Justice Roberts. His ruling doesn't give Congress an ounce of extra power it didn't have before but sets a potentially huge road-map for curbing commerce power in the future. The court also just got a lot more latitude when it comes to Article V of the Voting Rights Act, Affirmative Action, and any further Citizens United cases.
