Supreme Court: Activist Judges Deny Medical Relief To Those In Pain Or Dying

The Supreme Court ruled today that the federal government can prosecute people whose own doctors recommend medical marijuana to relieve pain or even help in their recovery. They'd rather stone patients than see them get stoned, even if it is the most medically efficient way of providing comfort and relief to the sick.

Whatever you think of the ruling. the 6-3 decision penned by John Paul Stevens is a case of hypocrisy by the court's far right judges since they pretend to support states' rights but back away from that philosophy whenever it involves something they object to, like medical marijuana.

P.S. The symbol "--30--" is old journalism shorthand for "end of story" or in this case, end of blog.
