Whoa!
This is an interesting ruling. I'll have to mull this one over.
My first thought is that I'm surprised that the court is deferring to Congress. That is a pleasant surprise.
Interesting title, too. The ruling does nothing of the sort.
Ok,,,,MY copy of the Constitution does not say a thing about drugs! It does say that if it doesn't say a thing about something that it is left to the states or to the people. I wonder where the supreme court got their copy?

In a related story, pharmaceutical companies took the day off to celebrate the decision.
Already several threads on this.
What section of the Constitution do they think grants the Federal government this power?
This probably is a state matter.
Considering five of the nine Supreme Court Justices have various types of cancer, I am sure they are going to live to regret this.
