I don't blame FDR for "every" thing this court does, but the precedent
they used re medical reefer, was as I said. The case of Wickard v
Filburn was the result of fear by the court under FDR, and it was quite
possibly one of the most ridiculous and harmful decisions ever made by
any US Supreme Court. It left the door wide open for the government to
come up with a host of new ways to **** with people.
Is that what you got from his post? I think it was more a comment on
likemindedness of the court and the administration. We can let Schizo
clarify that for both of us.
Here's the quote: Unbelievable but the Supremes (the justices, not the
band), at the
urging of the Bush administration, now deem it fit to declare that
federal authority supercedes the states's when it comes to enforcing
drug laws.
Note the reference to urging from the Bush administration.
