Thank you for your comments...

It's the most psychologically addictive substance there is, IMO.



BASED ON WHAT? you said you never used it? Have you been watching to many Cheech and Chong Movies?

COUNT ME WITH THE LIBERTARIANS ON THIS ONE

Sorry, can't do that. Your views on SCOTUS and state powers are consistent as is Justice Thomas'. Many of the same folks here who are applauding Thomas were skerwering him for his dissent in Lawrence.

I ask again, where'd you get that idea?

Because, back when I was using it years ago, I would smoke like a chimney for 9 months, and stop cold turkey for 3 months. No withdrawals, no cravings, no problem whatsoever.

[Doctor Stochastic]

Exactly. The primary effect of this ruling (and subsequent lower court rulings citing this one as precedent) is that Congress rather than State Legislatures get to determine what is a crime. Sort of like the 55mph speed limit.

In your opinion?

Sorry, but the facts do not seem to agree with your opinion.

You can look it up. Nicotine and caffeine are both more addictive than ganja.

[AmishDude]

You've misread me.

I did not. As to what you intended to write, that is a different matter.

No newb you're wrong, stupidity is! Blackbird.

You never have gotten this right, my friend. Thomas got both right. Same sex sodomy is not protect by the 14th amendment, and the Commerce Clause covers trade AMONG the states, not within a state. The farmers would never, and in fact did not, empower the central government to run our economy. But you side with FDR and his Court on judicial activism, by changing the Commerce Clause to say something it does not say.

[AmishDude]

What is your opinion of the Scalia concurrence?

[Nyboe]

We can only pray that someday a conservative court will rule that way, and the entire New Deal will be cut from our system of government like the cancer that it is.

Are you Dane?

You're as nuts.

[AmishDude]

Ahem. Ping.

[Doctor Stochastic]

You left out Freeping.

[dirtboy]

Doesn't matter. That little gem that asserts that the legislature is superior is a godsend.

We'll see if you are so chipper when Congress is goring your particular ox with their superiorly usurped powers.

If that's the case, then the whole Constitutional Republic idea was wasted.

"chimney for 9 months"

You've convinced me.. Not addictive..

LOL

[highball]

I wasn't on Free Republic for that. But I'll take your word for it.

"Render unto the states what is the states." Exactly!

At least it's Congress. Usually it's a peon federal judge who's doing the goring.
