Raich was the insane verdict that makes “interstate commerce” apply everywhere, way beyond what you imagine. It said, in no uncertain terms, the “interstate commerce” clause applied (say, allowing federal DEA “dynamic entry & seizure”) even to totally intra-state products legal within that state (say, a pot plant grown in a “medical pot” state under a doctor’s supervision), even when interstate made interstate commerce of it illegal (say, pot) because - get this - the legal intra-state activity REDUCED demand in illegal inter-state commerce, therefore affecting “interstate commerce”.
Yes, and it was Scalia that wrote it, I believe.
Crazy. The “war on some drugs” was more important to him than the Constitution.
