This is one perfect example of "judicial activism". The issue isn't the marijuana to me, it is how and why the court ruled.

Basically, the court said that growing marijuana at home for medical purposes falls under interstate commerce and is therefore able to be regulated by the feds.

What?

Huh?

Shall we get a dictionary and define what interstate means? This has nothing to do with interstate commerce. Rehnquist, Thomas, and O'Connor are the only ones who seem to understand this. I am quite surprised and disappointed at Scalia and Kennedy, though not surprised by the votes of the other justices.

If this falls under interstate commerce, everything can, and states rights be damned.

Another ruling which bothers me, but not nearly so much, is that foreign cruise ships that come into US Waters must abide by the ADA. I do not think it is up to the US to determine policies of foreign owned and based businesses. I beleive it is up to the passenger with a disability to determine if a foreign vessel can suit their needs. There are plenty of US cruise ships which fall under the ADA, as they should. I have no argument with the ADA about this, only this ruling applying our laws to foreign cruise ships.
