COUNT ME WITH THE LIBERTARIANS ON THIS ONE. [Mark R. Levin]
I don't support the widespread legalization of drugs. However, that's beside the point. Based solely on news accounts, this is, in essence, a continuation of Wickard v. Filburn (which involved homegrown wheat), in which interstate commerce was said by the Court to include commerce wholly within a state -- enabling the federal government to regulate virtually without limit state and private economic activity.

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.

It's sad. They've completely abrogated the intent of our founding documents.

Armed with the Commerce Clause, there is nothing that the FedGuv cannot usurp.

Oh: And it kinda sucks to actually be here to witness the devolution of America to something I'd rather not be in.

I hate that Chinese "Interesting times" curse.

Glad to see we agree Mark.

You're a very smart man.
