"Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anythingand the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers."
Justice Clarence Thomas, dissenting in Raich
The Clintons are inveterate liars.
A child raised in such an atmosphere is a stranger to truth.
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof”?
If the FedGov proposes to make law outside its authority under the Constitution as it has done in this case, appealing to the Constitution’s “Supremacy Clause” is weak sauce indeed..
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
-S. Adams
