Having scanned the opinion and Justice Thomas' dissent, I agree with Justice Thomas.

His position is basically that you can't on the one hand say that the federal government can ban the intrastate possession of marijuana (as they already did in Raich), and on the other hand say that the federal government cannot ban the prescription of lethal drugs, under the same law.

He's right, as usual.

The majority's reasoning is absurd.

Thanks! Thomas nailed it! Woo-hoo!

Well, at least in part. I'm sure there's more.
