Re: Liberals
What he neglected to mention was that the biggest originalist on the bench (Scalia) voted in favor of the federal government's right to prosecute the grower's co-op. Kennedy,
************************************************** *********
Actually in other posts I have expressed my disgust with Scalia for siding with the liberals in the case. If you have read my other posts you would know this.
Anyway, Dissenting in California Medical Marijuana Case:
Clarence Thomas: Conservative
Renquist: Conservative
O'Conner: Swing Vote (moderate)
There were ZERO liberal judges in the dissent.
In the majority were the liberal judge voting block and one originalist judge(Scalia). Their justification was the interstate commerce clause.
As I said before just because you appoint an originalist judge they will not be 100% consistent in their rulings as Scalia demonstrated.
