Are you seriously suggesting that regulating which drugs a druggist can sell is slavery?

Not that it matters really. Thompson thinks federalism is more important than an amendment guaranteeing a right to life. Surely he would have opposed that one eliminating slavery too.

No, involuntary servitude.
The State being the overpowering authority.
The coercion from the threatened revocation of license(s).

Unlike my legal theories, though - Fred doesn't need defending...

Who is the lucky recipient of your support, BTW?
