Thanks, I must have been thinking about US v McCoy that the 9th Circuit just ruled on.

Still, it's pretty amazing to see the 9th actually follow Constitutional law for their *reasoning* in any of their rulings. Makes one wonder just what they're up to...

Well they got this 1/2 and 1/2.

I suspect some sort of hard drug. < /LOL > I'll bet they're thinking ahead to protecting drug use somehow under the guise of homemade, or homegrown.

This was evidently the ruling of a three judge panel with two of the judges supporting this decision. This might be expected to happen whenever two of the few conservative judges get assigned to the same case.

It still makes for interesting cases because now a full panel of judges ( is it 11?) may re-hear the case. This full panel will have a harder time just ignoring the issues or failing to apply relevant legal tests.

Alex Kozinski is a solid conservative. Maybe Traitor Reinhardt wasn't around for this one.
