Today in Supreme Court History: May 4, 1942

This brief historical note presents a factual Supreme Court docket entry with minimal framing or interpretation. The language is neutral and documentary in style. While Reason magazine generally leans libertarian-right, this particular post contains no ideological inflection, advocacy, or loaded language—it simply dates an important case (Wickard v. Filburn, which expanded federal commerce power and is often cited by both progressives supporting broad regulation and libertarians opposing it). No sources are cited, stakes are not interpreted, and no contemporary relevance is drawn.
