I was surprised that Scalia didn't dissent as well, he's usually a hardline state's rights kinda guy.
I still don't understand how the commerce clause allows for the black market to play into 'commerce'.
Time to hit the reset button and re-boot.

Yeah, me and one of the attys at work are keen to read his reasoning on this. Hopefully he spelled it out.
Seems like just another judicial fiat. The law is what we'd like it to be at any given moment, on any given subject, on any capricious whim.
NOT GOOD.
Is it possible, that maybe... it has something to do with the states which haven't "legalized" """MEDICINAL""" pot? And how the interstate commerce laws MIGHT be a problem? Do you think.. the States, themselves, which have legalized pot should erect a border control between states which haven't legalized pot -- to prevent the "carrying out of a legal state" into an "unlegalized state" pot?
Just batting ideas here with you.
