TalkLeft: Stevens on Raich

TalkLeft: Stevens on Raich

Regular readers may recall my dissatisfaction with the medical marijuana ruling, though after being called to task I later rethought the jurisprudence of federal supremacy vs. state's rights. Justice Stevens, it seems, was of mixed mind as well:

"I have no hesitation in telling you that I agree with the policy choice made by the millions of California voters," he said. But given the broader stakes for the power of Congress to regulate commerce, he added, "our duty to uphold the application of the federal statute was pellucidly clear."


TalkLeft offers more worthwhile thoughts.
