The decision was 6-3. Even if Scalia voted constitutionally, Raich would still be law of the land.

He ought to drop his claim to being an originalist, or at the very least, modify it.

I'll take nine Scalias v. nine Ginsbergs any day.

That's one heck of an endorsement. The New Deal Commerce Clause would win 9-0 in either case.

Sure would.

And, the protection of the God-given, unalienable, individual, right to life - applying the equal protection of the laws to all persons, no matter their stage of development - would lose 9-0 too.

Makes the pleadings of the Republican hacks to support their candidates "because of the judges" ring quite hollow.
