Several things going on in this case. One of them is the question of whether or not the existence of a federal law on a topic necessarily pre-empts state laws on the same topic, e.g. marijuana, cocaine, illegal aliens, gasoline sales, use of WMDs, etc.

That right there would grab the attention of 5 of the justices. Now, for the other 4 ~ what is the deal? Well, there's this business of an individual having a right to attempt to kill a romantic rival and yet have it tried under state law rather than federal law.

I think you don't have to go further than that ~ state courts are no doubt kinder to elderly ladies than are federal courts, and the women's prisons are closer to home ~ meaning friends and family can visit.

That actually takes care of only 3 of them because there's this mind-numbed Leftwingtard guy left, so why would he vote for that.

I'm guessing that if we go back through his legal history we will find BUSINESS cases where a treaty caused the federales to go one way whereas his friends on Wallstreet would have preferred New York's rules!
