states rights.....

ok, so the conservative right, who claim to value states rights over that of 'big government' may have to swallow the potential loss in issues opposed by said right-wingers........today the supreme court declined to hear a challenge to massechusetts gay marriage situation.........and has taken up a california suit by 2 women who claim that their quality of life is dependent on medicinal marijuana......allowed under state law in california.........npr reported this morning that right-wing scholars believe that the supremes will let stand the california law, citing the lack of juristiction for the us govt to be involved at all......there is no state to state commerce involved if ill-people grow-their-own.......just like there is no interstate commerce involved if people legally grow their own petunias........it would be really rich indeed if the first major supreme court decision of the new bush term allows california, and the other 9 states who have legalized medicinal marijuana to continue.........i have disclosed this before, but it is worth mentioning again.....my great grandmother crown...in tiny nashport, ohio.......was prescribed marijuana for control of her asthma....and my dad remembered her burning hemp in a jar lid.....and draping a towel over her head for full inhaled effect.........wow............that will cure what ails you.................here's hoping that states rights prevail.......
