robertpaulsen opines:
Inalienable rights are those God-given individual rights which cannot be taken away without due process in a court of law.
Show us the Constitutional due process used in making the war on drugs.

I don't agree that proper procedure is by itself sufficient justification for taking away God-given individual rights.

"Me neither", paulsen irrationally claims:
"But Substantive Due Process holds that the Due Process Clause guarantees not only that proper procedures be used, but that it also guarantees that a person's life, freedom and property cannot be taken without appropriate governmental justification."
And as you well know robert, but refuse to admit, - "appropriate governmental justification" was never given for the drug wars prohibitionary 'regulations'.
- None is possible. Such fiat prohibitions on articles of 'dangerous' property such as drugs [or guns] are unjustifiable infringments on our individual rights to life, liberty & property.
Give up on your neo-prohibitionary communitarian crusade at FR, paulsen.
No one is buying your bull.
"appropriate governmental justification" was never given for the drug wars prohibitionary 'regulations'."The USSC acknowledged that Congress did just that.
Read the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 -- it's right there in front of your face.
You have no excuse making such ignorant statements.
