Because everyone has health insurance, right?

The Interstate Commerce Clause was in effect during the War On Alcohol. Why did the War on Alcohol require a Constitutional Amendment?

Congress decided against prayer in public schools. Interesting...

I'm going to have to disagree.

The feds would have gladly left 'boozers' to die and go blind. After all they are EVIL.

NY state was the first to ban spending any state money enforcing prohibition.

Simple fact is it's generational. The brainwashing success rate fell drastically for anybody born after 1950-1960. Of course there are exceptions.

Supreme Court has ruled the New Deal is good for you.
Supreme Court has ruled your homegrown wheat is interstate commerce.
Supreme Court has ruled that seperate but equal is equal.
Supreme Court has ruled that Free Speech is unimportant, CFR.
Supreme Court has ruled that the Supreme Court is Supreme.

It would appear that the Supreme Court has ruled and your contrarian/loserdopian point[s] are moot.

A Drug Warrior TROLL has decided to join this thread. Imagine that ...

Guess what, pal, this is going to open a lot of eyes to just how stupid and counterproductive federal MJ prohibition is, and people will in the next few years vote out politicians who don't support a change to the federal laws. And bootlicking a$$holes like YOU who think the same way as the commie left with regard to your precious Drug War will be left out in the cold.

My fondest wish for you is that YOUR SON or someone else close to you gets busted for pot possession and spends time in jail. Maybe you'll change your tune then - in the meantime, you can go to hell.

There is a lot of money to be made by lawyers, in fines,
etc to keep locking up people for possession of controlled
substances, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.

So basically you're saying you revel in the joy of being able to tell other people how to live their lives?

Absolutely true. To have ruled otherwise would be an example of the Court making (altering) federal law

Would this be the same federal law that is in clear disagreement with the 10th Amendment? Interesting that the only ones in dissent were the conservatives. Which makes sense since because many here are cheering the liberal decision. And it's becoming evidently clear Republican and conservative are mutually exclusive of each other. Yet more evidence Republicans care no more for the document than their Democrat counterparts

Courts could just rule any law unconstitutional.

You would rather see sick people suffer through their pain, all because of your little crusade against a plant. And we are the losers?

The Interstate Commerce Clause was in effect during the War On Alcohol.

Its meaning was warped during the FDR administration to justify and legalize the New Deal, well after Prohibition was repealed. Rush was citing the case of the farmer that was prosecuted by the feds for growing and using his own wheat in violation of (IIRC) price controls established by a New Deal agency.
