the high court's ruling overrode laws in Hawaii and nine other states. [...] "The real issue here is, is it the safe and best way for medical treatment?

No, obviously the real issue is whether the feds can bully the states into giving up their authority to regulate activities confined to within their own borders. If medical judgment were the issue, government would butt out and leave it to doctors and patients.

"No, obviously the real issue is whether the feds can bully the states into giving up their authority to regulate activities confined to within their own borders."

Hey, Governor Wallace said basically the same thing in his "Schoolhouse Door" speech!

"The unwelcomed, unwanted, unwarranted and force-induced intrusion upon the campus of the University of Alabama today of the might of the Central Government offers frightful example of the oppression of the rights, privileges and sovereignty of this State by officers of the Federal Government. This intrusion results solely from force, or threat of force, undignified by any reasonable application of the principle of law, reason and justice. It is important that the people of this State and nation understand that this action is in violation of rights reserved to the State by the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Alabama."
