That can make for a lot of 2nd-9th-10th Amendment individuals.
I wish the Supreme Court would get out of politics.
Well under article three sec. 1 and 2 the Supreme court has vested in it the judicial power in all cases in law and equity arising under the constitution, treaties, and US code. I would say they probably have the power to make decisions about the constitutionality of an act of congress.
That might be, but even so it is a supreme court decision on a constitutional issue and gives the DEA and the CSA a leg to stand on, or "road map" if they bring suit.
They can't compel state law enforcement to enforce a federal law. Which makes one wonder what the object of a lawsuit would be.
BTW the federal government's reasoning in the Arizona immigration case is just as egregiously wrong.

We're talking about an act of a State legislature here.

They can have the DEA enforce a federal law and federal laws have supremacy...That is how they desegregated the South more or less. Do you think all the southern states would have allowed the 1964 civil rights act to be enforced if they didn't have some pushing from the federal government?
The poll numbers suggest that Prop 19 will win especially if students vote. It will be an interesting showdown with the federal government since the Attorney General is threatening California to not legalize marijuana or face an immediate court injunction. The state legislature and governor signed a law recently that decriminalize marijuana possession to a traffic ticket; this was done to pacify the voters to not legalize cannabis. Now the sheriff of Los Angeles county is claiming he will follow federal law versus state law if marijuana is legal. This entire issue is becoming a huge headache for the politicians and police. Should be very interesting to see what happens.
