If the Commerce Clause were to be interpreted in a logical fashion, the basis of much of the federal governement's power would collapse.

Which is in part why I am not surprised by the outcome. Wickard has been good law since it was decided in 1942. (And I mean "good" in the sense it hasn't been overruled, not that its how it should have been decided in the first place.) Anyone who thought the SCOTUS was going to radically change directions after 63 years of federal legislation and regulatory agencies premised on that interpretation of the Commerce Clause needs to remove the rose colored glasses.
