I would tend to think that the WoD necessarily involves a seperate debate on "clear and present danger," and I see that debate as counterproductive to this discussion. The SCOTUS has done very little legislating from the bench that dealt with drugs.

I think the questions are relevant to the general topic of the "Living Constitution" doctrine, and developing a consistently applicable defense against it. I wasn't aware the discussion was confined to only discussing it wrt SCOTUS legislating from the bench.
