I would argue that the Supreme Court has been ignoring the Constitution far longer than the 1930s.
The court didn't have nearly as much of a tendency legislate from the bench as it did after the court packing scheme of the thirties. Now it just rewrites the law to get a desired outcome. They did that twice with Obozocare.
"Only an idiot would believe otherwise" is a poor argument against something that one disagrees with. All too often such is easily refuted as an argument.
