So Much for Federalism?
FYI, via SCOTUSblog, the Supreme Court today, in an opinion by Justice Stevens, reversed the Ninth Circuit 6-3, holding for the United States in Gonzales v. Raich (medicial marijuana). The opinons are not yet available on-line. I'll likely have more tonight or tomorrow after I have read and digested the Court's musings.
UPDATE: The ever conncected Howard Bashman over at How Appealing has complied a list of links to the various opinions. It looks like Justice Stevens wrote for himself, as well as Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy and Souter. Justice Scalia provided the 6th vote, but with a seperate concurrance. Justices O'Connor and Thomas both filed dissenting opinions with Chief Justice Rehnquist also dissenting.
