They just took a medical pot case a couple weeks ago too that focused on medical rights. Now they took this case which focuses on religious rights. They are in a position to finally do the right thing and stand up for the constitutional rights of people to medical, and religious freedom. And after the whole Terri Shavio thing with the legislature attempting to interfere with the judiciary, the high court being recently attacked by the senate majority leader, and the judiciary being "under siege" by the other two branches basically lately, I'm hoping they decide to go against the grain and break the fucking stranglehold on drugs just to say "Fuck you", and re-assert their authority..

Would you please explain to me why you think it's a good idea to allow an unelected and nonaccountable gang of nine jurists to have authority over the duly elected legislature.

Nevertheless, that gang of 9 jurists are unaccountable for a good reason, this lets them exercise sound judgements without fear of losing their jobs because they make a politically unpopular decision. In essence, this actually protects us from the president riding off into the sunset with the congress like John Wayne, which he's been trying to do. Naughty Bush  tsk, tsk.

edit: this also protects from one political party assuming total control of the United States, because they can vote their concious without fear of being removed from office, which is what has Bush and the gang all upsetted. The poor Republican bastards.
