As a small-l libertarian, I agree with you to the extent that I'd have much prefered Texas to scrap this law on their own. But then again, I've been having a great time watching the "God Hates Fags" crowd expose their hypocrisy and claim that they're annoyed over the Constitutional machinations. BTW, I'm not referring to you above.

But in this case you're OK with the SCOTUS making new law because it runs parallel with your ideology.

Were you OK with O'Connor's replacing diversity for "equal protection"?

I'm not OK with either one and I'm not OK with the feds imposing pot laws on states either.

If California wants to de-criminalise weed, it's up to them not DC.

You see, even when results run counter to my social conservatism, I recognise that either we have a Constitution or we don't. At this point, we don't.
