Justice Thomas is the greatest Supreme Courtr justice of the 100 years. Everyone should look at my tribute to him in my profile. He is an intellectual giant, and he is the only one on the bench that has stayed true to the Constitution. He doesn't create governmental or individual rights out of thin air like Scalia or Roberts or Alito do. HE respects our system of government. For that he is to be commended.

By the way, people that support Scalia's concurrence in Raich should be honest with themselves and admit that they are not conservatives. Maybe they can consider themselves social conservatives, but they are not true conservatives. True conservatives don't support the idea of a federal government exceeding its constitutional limit. If you want to ban drugs, PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. We needed one for alcohol prohibition. I think passing such an amendment would be a horrible idea, just like the prohibition amendment was, but at least they'd be following the law set forth by our Founding Fathers.

You are right on target.

The case involved a woman using marijuana grown in her home for medical purposes. Anyone who supports federal prosecution of such an act is not a conservative, nor do they understand or support liberty. I don't what's more jaw dropping; that the 'enlightened' progressives on the court supported the government's position, or that Scalia agreed with them.
