Do I think that the Supremes will see it that way? No. I expect them to rule against the states, if and when it gets that far.
>I am not well-versed in Constitutional law. My perspective suggests that it should be left up to the states to decide to de-criminalize pot.
Um, that’s exactly what I said.
The ONLY reason that Prohibition was legal was because we amended the constitution to bar it [18th Amendment]; no such amendment exists with respect to marijuana, narcotics, fully-automatic weapons, etc and it is FOR THAT REASIN that all such restrictions imposed by the federal government thereon are invalid.

Agreed. And I just gave you a little list that illustrates just how the USSC does NOT follow the Constitution.
