Clarence Thomas is right, on one thing.

There is no way in hell to square this morning's case upholding Oregon's assisted suicide law with last-year's medical marijuana case. Not unless you make some distinctions that are so fine as to be nonsensical. Not that that has ever stopped the Court before. It is noteworthy that the Court did not even try to address this issue in its majority opinion.

Mind you, I think last year's case was wrongly decided.

You just wandered in randomly? That's neat. : )

As far as your explanation of the case, I got you. I was not thinking too clearly -- but you're right. That's what I get for reading SCOTUS.blog and not going to the opinions themselves : )

On rare occasions I poke through friend's friends...

Can't blame you too much for looking at summaries. You'd have to be a pretty big weenie to read through these things for fun.

Err...

Or a very concerned citizen, yea, that's the ticket...
