And of course, the Federal Government can mandate that terminally ill patients can smoke only Federal Government supplied marijuana to ease their pain.
So let’s see, an old leftist, activist justice is saying that Obama care passes constitutional muster . . . why am I not surprised?
That’s why the doddering old fool is retired:
“He referenced a 2005 Supreme Court decision that held the federal government could outlaw state-sanctioned medical marijuana even if the substance didn’t cross state lines”
Nobody was forcing anyone to buy Marijuana. Obamacare forces people to buy insurance. Big difference - MORON!
Amazing..
91 years old, and retired, and Stevens still manages to be wrong on every issue....
Ya gotta admire the consistency... ;)
Even though 80% of the people in this country don’t want ObamaCare? Amazing.....just amazing.
Worst thing that ever happened to Americans - “the commerce clause”
I’m pretty sure John Paul Stevens has been dead for quite some time. This must be a mistake.
Figures this douchebag was named by the RINO disaster Gerald Ford.
Dear Justice Stevens. The fed can outlaw medical marijuana because marijuana is already illegal. Duh....
Retired justice says Supreme Court likely to uphold health care law
To paraphrase Pelosi, have they read it...
This makes me nervous. I hope Mark Levin addresses this today.
It is true.
They didn’t ens Campaign Finance reform and they didn’t protect property rights when they got the chance.
SCOTUS is totally unreliable.
About the only thing Stevens’s statement tells me is how Stevens would vote on the case.
And that of course is totally irrelevant.
What I need to know is how Justice Kennedy will vote on the case. I don’t think Stevens knows that (I’m not even sure Kennedy knows).
A whole lotta thanks for nothing, Gerald Ford, you RINO. You and GHW Bush and Warren Rudman can all go suck eggs.
Should it be the case then it’d be the first shot heard round the world, IMHO.
Why does the SCOTUS get a 3 month vacation every year? I’m so sick of these overpaid morons living off the public and then spouting opinions about the “law”. There’s only 2 sets of laws that truly mean anything... 1: God’s law and 2. Nature’s law. All the rest is plain old man-made bullshit. Just as most of their pontificating opinions about the law is just plain old bullshit.
If Obama care is constitutional then any law or action by the federal government is.
Nice try, MSM. Ain’t gonna fly. It just bit the dust. I saw it, it cratered big time. It is now a worm-burner.
What do they care. The Supremes will have top notch healthcare for themselves and their families for life. Why wouldn’t they screw the rest of us in the name of social justice.
