...I hope. It is interesting admittedly. It only gets attention, though, because it's about drugs. What if it again was wheat? It does not even get to the court. So, while I suspected that Raich might win (me being overly optimistic), now I can see that there was no chance really. The liberals are more interested in protecting the broad commerce clause than letting people smoke weed and always will be.
Also, did you notice that Thomas and Rehnquist did not join in O'Connor's part III where she said she would have voted against California's proposition as a citizen? I guess Thomas and Rehnquist would have voted for it...(I don't really think this is why they didn't join)
Wickard... O'Connor seemed resigned to Wickard v. Filburn but she very aptly distinguished it if you noticed. That leaves Thomas as the only judge opposed to it in all likelihood.
