Has it really been rammed down everyone's throats so hard that Conservatives are the only guardians of states rights that it is inconceivable to you that Liberals might actually be quite concerned legitimately with Federal intervention and the squashing of states rights?
Or is it just amusing and ironic to you (as well as concerning of course) that Liberals don't actually fit the stereotypical mold that so many have created for them?
As a liberal, I am often perplexed at the myriad of sterotypes made for me. According to many I want to squash states rights, banish God, hate the military, steal money from people, legalize beastiality and polygamy, destroy marriage, let drugs rule the streets, destroy commerce, and invite Osama to anger management classes. Yet, they are 'concerned' when reality counters this strawman perception...interesting.

Finally, imho, Oregon's assisted suicide law should stand. The federal government's controlled substance's act should be entirely rejected as unconstitutional.

Well, Oregon's law will stand, regardless of the ruling. The court has already said it is fine. All this will do is if they side with the Feds, is mean that while Oregon can have assisted suicide, they just can't do it with drugs. Perhaps the governor will have to order a batch of very fine Japanese swords to replace the pharmaceuticals in the job. Apparantly that would be okay, just heaven forbid we use drugs for a lethal injection! ...oh-oh!
