Re: Raich
Am I reading this correctly? If Congress discovers a potential interstate commerce effect in an intrastate non-commercial activity, it has the authority to regulate. Right?
Does this mean that the government can regulate how you sew your own clothes? How much salt you put on your food?
I think the text supports this interpretation.
Makes you glad that Justice Thomas is one of the young'uns.
But it makes one worry when, for all the chatter about uncaring conservatives, it's Thomas, O'Connor and Rehnquist who think that if AIDS patients are choking to death on their own vomit from nausea, the several states ought be allowed unconventional approaches to alleviating the circumstance.
