You asked me to "cite where the “prophylactic rule” outlined in Jackson appears in the Constitution."

I merely demonstreated the absurdity of your request by asking another absurd question. Personally, I am all for statutes outlawing illegal drugs, and have never, ever used an illegal drug.

You read something into my question that wasn't there. Maybe you need to take a class in rules of construction; a primary one being a person should not read words into or out of the language presented.

Uh huh.

Oh, you mean like judicially created “prophylactic rules” that are not in the Constitution?
