Both Silberman and Sutton cited Scalia's opinion in 2005 upholding strict federal regulation of marijuana in the case of Angel Raich, a Californian who used home-grown marijuana to relieve her pain. "If Congress could regulate Angel Raich when she grew marijuana on her property for self-consumption," Sutton wrote, "it is difficult to say Congress may not regulate the 50 million Americans who self-finance their medical care."

I see. So thinking that the federal government has the responsibility to protect citizens from illegal trade and smuggling of hazardous substances is directly relevant to the federal government imposing a health insurance mandate on citizens?

Sorry, but that simply beggars all logic. If you fall for that argument, you'll fall for anything.
