Marijuana, the Supreme Court, and Freedom

One of the reasons it was too bad George W. Bush was re-elected: court appointees.
Of course Kerry was a terrible choice, too, so let's don't get distracted.
The point is simply that judges and justices seem to have NO concept of what the Constitution says and no concept of what freedom is and no concept of what justice is.
The Supreme Court today (Monday, 6 June) ruled against a sick woman's being able to grow her own medical marijuana.
NOTHING in the Constitution gives the federal government any right to control what that woman puts into her own body; NOTHING in the Constitution gives the federal government any right to control what that woman can grow in her own garden.
It is so strange: A Supreme Court rules the Constitution says a doctor can prescribe an abortion for a woman, and medical privacy says no government can interfere.
Yet if a doctor prescribes a natural product to help the woman medically, the Constitution says the feds can charge in, with guns pointing, to the woman's home, to the doctor's office, to, I suppose, any place the armed thugs of the federal government want.
Those Supreme Court "justices" sure do read selectively.
And what an irony: On this very date, 61 years ago, thousands of Americans died allegedly fighting for freedom.
