Good read. Things to ponder and speculate on. We need another Scalia. Hope DJT can get very close.

No.

We need another Thomas.

He is the one who is willing to look at past decisions and say, this is wrong.

Scalia was a bit to enamored of stare decisis.

Scalia wasn't too bad. Another Thomas would be much better.

Scalia wrote Raich, which legitimized all Federal power via the Commerce Clause.

The case was completely insane. With a little luck, a Constitutionalist, Originalist, Texualist, court will reverse Raich and start trimming away at the insane way the Commerce Clause has been used.

Raich held that people growing marijuana in their own home, for their own use, were subject to federal drug laws, because they would not be buying marijuana on the black market, thus affecting interstate commerce.

Explain what the federal government does not regulate, under that doctrine.
