What has been so amazing to me is to see so many alleged conservatives cheering this catastrophe for the concept of limited government.

You're not alone. O'Connor regained some sanity. Scalia lost his. Kennedy is out to lunch as usual.

Federalism Liberty, Up in Smoke?
Let's see an up or down ruling on the entire Interstate Commerce Clause by the American voters. NAFTA? CAFTA? $hit, we don't have those trade freedoms within our own damn borders.

Can someone explain to me how a substance grown, transported, and consumed entirely within the borders of the State of California is a Federal matter?

It's no longer about justice, law, or the Constitution. It's merely about raw power now. They've decided WE don't have any.
I've got news for them.

This case was hopelessly dreadlocked for years. Regardless of the outcome, I'm glad it was finally settled.

O'Conner using "states rights" as an explanation is maddening. This is apparently, in her mind, the only right the states have left.

How do you figure it's settled? It's just begun.

Weak attempt at humor.I'm not too quick on the uptake today. I thought it was a typo.
To: neverdem
Every once and a while a decision comes along like this and shows us that Thomas, and not Scalia, is the justice on the court who is most in line with the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and conservative ideas. I don't want to imply that Scalia is anything less than an outstanding justice - but he is no Thomas.

The decision in this case was supported by the ACLU.
Legislation on gun control in California using the Commerce Clause to prohibit firearms can now move forward.
Those who thought this was about pot are gullible dupes.

The War on Drugs and Gun Control.
It isn't about guns, it's about control. It also isn't about drugs, and I think they just declared War. On US.
