People committed to the principles of the constitution have been warning about this for years. Unfortunately there are a lot of folks in both parties that simply don't care about constitutional principle as much as their pet issues.

While the “war” on drugs is clearly unconstitutional, suddenly legalizing them while we have a permissive welfare system would result in a “Cloward-Piven” type failure of services.

There are much more critical usurpation's of power that need to be corrected before government gets out of the pharmaceutical business.

It is not a legalization problem. I believe many States would keep their drug laws. Some might even try more onerous ones to combat drug use.

Drugs, Guns, & Commerce

I suspect that many of my readers saw the recent mention of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision about California's medical marijuana law, and just turned the page. You don't smoke marijuana, and don't particularly care what decision the Court made. You actually should care--because many of the same arguments that applied to this case, and other federal statutes relating to interstate commerce, apply to guns as well.

Shotgun news.
