I was wondering how long it would take the libtards to show up with their own claims under, amongst other things, the 10th Amendment.

Seems we have an ally(?) on the left. From HUFFPO, An Opportunity For President Obama: Change America's Status Quo on Drug Policy:

~snip~

Beyond staggering social costs, these policies have seriously damaged the Constitutional rights of us all. In the name of protecting us from our vices, we have assented to the evisceration of our fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth Amendment rights. And recently, in the Supreme Court's Morse v. Frederick decision (colloquially known as "Bong Hits for Jesus"), we trimmed our hallowed First Amendment rights as well: the Court actually ruled that speech can be selectively punished based merely on its marijuana-based content. This is a flagrant affront to the Framers' First Amendment intent that no idea should ever be considered too dangerous to be heard.

Strange bedfellows??? I wonder how the libtards will react realizing they are on the same side of an argument with ((gasp))conservatives? For that matter, how do we feel about it?

Could an alliance of sorts work out; as difficult as it might seem? And let the states wanting to, issue free bongs, or free ammo for that matter, to anybody moving within their borders? Original intent has some interesting ramifications, no?
