Is it unbelievable or what that Bush appoints this guy to be chief justice, and conveniently the first case before his court is one of the Bush administration's Christian crusade pet projects to take away states' rights while Republicans CONTINUE to claim they SUPPORT states' rights and a "strict interpretation of the Constitution." Sure, if by that they mean "strictly interpreting the Constitution however Bush and the neo-cons want to interpret it in Jesus's name Amen."
Of course, we all know how the Supreme Court is going to rule, of course it's going to rule in favor of Gonzales (on whose appointment I will refrain from commenting) because the Court has ALWAYS been willing to let the Federal government do whatever the hell it wants as long as it's part of the Controlled Substances Act, which is an affront to the Constitution if you ask me. Oh, and those damn blue bloods in the 9th Circuit, they need to be taught another lesson in letting the Federal government do whatever the hell it wants. When are they going to learn? They're smart guys, they need to get with the program, this is 'Merica not some commie left coast independent republic. The formation of which sounds like a better and better idea as time passes.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
