I noted that in another thread on this topic. Racist Democrats insinuate, if not flat out state, that Thomas is a moron. Anyone reading this decent will disagree strongly. Of course, some will say it was a clerk who actually wrote it...

"Justice Thomas' dissent is top-notch"

His argument is thus: 2 + 2 = 4 ..... but it shouldn't.

His argument flies in the face of all logic. To wit:

"They cultivate their cannabis entirely in the State of California. It never crosses state lines, much less as part of a commercial transaction."

Uh, theoretically, yes.

"California's Compassionate Use Act ... channels marijuana use to seriously ill Californians"

Uh-huh. And to not-so-seriously-ill Californians and somewhat-ill Californians, and kinda-maybe-ill Californians and to any Californian who has a headache and can get a "doctor's" recommendation.

"California strictly controls the cultivation and possession of marijuana for medical purposes."

Or so they say.

On and on. Nice theory, Justice Thomas, but theory and reality are, in this case, widely divergent.

Now Scalia's comments, on the other hand, are right on the money.
