[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

This is what happens when an American state is overrun by lawmakers without morals -- who create and use immoral state laws, then under States Rights doctrine hold them like a gun to the U.S. Constitution's head. Truly a horrid quandary for SCOTUS--and America.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -- John Adams

"The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined." -- Psalm 10:2

The pot stores closed in my area right after the announcement of this ruling.

What's immoral about marijuana use for the sick?

Well, it's certainly true that the lawmakers of California, just like those of other States (and those in Congress) are largely immoral. However, there is absolutely nothing immoral about the Compassionate Use Act. In fact, the only immorality lies with those who would prevent the sick from exercising their liberty right to heal themselves (provided they do not infringe on the rights of others in the process.) And the sin is a cardinal one, for it amounts to murder in some cases.

I don't have the AP at hand but as I remember this decision was based on interstate commerce.

And yet while Adams was alive, there was not a federal WOD, WOI, WOT, WOP, and any other 'war' the national government has started. Why when Adams was alive, the plant in question was not considered illegal. How is that? The Tenth Amendment is clear. No power belonging explicitly to the national government belongs to the states or the citizens thereof

Perhaps it's time to quit worrying about which judges will make activist decisions for 'our' side and look for judges that rule based solely on the Constitution and the limitations on the national government. Of course don't expect a Republican or Democrat to nominate someone like that very often. I'm seriously disappointed in Scalia.
