The Supreme Court decision according to Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. agreed on this opinion that upholding the PPACA under the commerce clause " would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority " and that " the power to regulate commerce presupposes the existence of commercial activity to be regulated " hence he did not find that the Act affected the commerce clause.
