the voting rights act is, in its entirety, obviously constitutional under the 15th amendment, which gives congress broad and proactive authority to stop racial discrimination in voting. and you know it is obviously constitutional because roberts has had to invent entire new doctrines to gut it.
The Constitution-free legal thinking long predates Roberts
My personal vote for "the case when they just started making things up" was Alden v. Maine (1999) when they abandoned the 11th Amendment and invented a new doctrine of State sovereign immunity
But surely others have their favorites
