And don't forget to mention, it would also be nine votes against the evil guns.

Scalia voted against the federal gun legislation in the Lopez decision.

Next falsehood, please.

The Supreme Court cite I provided clearly shows that the ruling in Stewart saying that a homegrown machine gun for personal consumption does not affect interstate commerce and is therefore not a federal matter was overturned in light of the decision in Raich saying that a homegrown cannabis plant for personal consumption affects interstate commerce. Scalia concurred with the left wing majority of the Court in Raich. Nine Scalias would mean nine votes that a homegrown machine gun for personal consumption affects interstate commerce and therefore is a federal matter.

Why would you say that is false? Lopez is just a drafting guide now.

As Scalia and Stevens explained in their Raich opinions, from their point of view, Lopez has nothing to do with Raich, and thus nothing to do with reconsidering Stewart in light of Raich.
