Ken. I won’t address Wickard. I didn’t bring it up. You did. Make any and all the points you want to about Wickard. Who cares. Ask me again if you want. My answer will still be “I won’t respond”.
Next. You said....The WOD has allowed the cartels to fluorish. Whoop-de-do. I say.... The WOT has allowed the jihadis to fluorish.
So, should we surrender in either war?
“How did we survive the first 150 years of our republic with legal marijuana?” Good question. Answer: By adhering to our moral values this country was founded upon. But since Liberaltarians have used and abused those values, we naturally have grown our government to such an Obamanation as we now face today.
Thanks libs! (/sarc)
It wasn’t Libertarians who grew government, it was republicans and democrats.
You may want to run away and hide from Wickard, but it's at the heart of big fedgov.
Next. You said....The WOD has allowed the cartels to fluorish. Whoop-de-do.
Then you agree with my statement?
I say.... The WOT has allowed the jihadis to fluorish.
Must be Drug Warrior logic, because that is nonsensical.
So, should we surrender in either war?
Cutting off the main funding source to the cartels is not "surrender" We did not surrender to Prohibition gangs when the 21st Amendment was ratified, did we?
"How did we survive the first 150 years of our republic with legal marijuana"? Good question. Answer: By adhering to our moral values this country was founded upon.

No, we did it by use of the Wickard Commerce Clause, which gave a green light to fedgov control over health care, welfare, the environment, education, and gun control. Wickard allowed the New Deal and the Great Society, and it is how Obama will attempt to push his agenda. So Wickard IS relevant, artful dodger.
