The SCOTUS decided this issue quite correctly IMO. The Feds have no business trying to use a US Attorney to prosecute persons with licenses issued by a sovereign State when they are acting in accordance with that States laws.

There was no Federal issue here.

If the Feds want to pass a law which bans Doctors from prescribing sufficient medication to end the life of a terminally ill patient, then let them do it. Then there may be an issue for the Federal Courts to get involved in.

In the meantime, the Feds should not inject themselves (no pun intended) into the private matters of terminally ill patients and their doctors.

If, God forbid, such a disease were ever to strike me I would pray that I could find a physician who would give me sufficient medication so that I could decide when I could no longer stand the pain.

Why wait. Life sucks, end it now, eh? No sense worrying and worrying about what may happen. Make it so there are no worries.
