Now, I’m assuming, without checking, that California’s Fourth District Court of Appeals is another liberal denizen, though I could certainly be wrong.

However, my point is that, on certain issues (pornography included), liberal justices can be more truly Constitutionally conservative than Republican appointees.

Case in point:  California’s Fourth District Court recently upheld (after numerous courts had overturned it) California’s medical marijuana initiative, which allows clinics to dispense marijuana to cancer patients to counter the effects of chemotherapy.

Other courts had ruled that Proposition 215, the law in question (which was an inititiaive approved by the people and not something the dunder-headed ruling Demofiends in Sacramento would ever have thet guts to come up with) was illegal because it conflicted with the 1974 federal Controlled Substance Act (CSA), which labels marijuana an illegal substance.

Now, the California court didn’t go so far as to recognize, as it should have, that it’s stupid to outlaw drugs in the first place because people have open access to them even in prison, but at least it recognized that the CSA didn’t constrain states from having different ideas on marijuana.  That, indeed, is a nice, big step toward, one would help, complete liberation of all drugs to allow the free market and people’s free choice to regulate them.

Liberals sometimes get it right, so they still have a useful role to play, albeit one that requires constant vigilance from people who truly cherish freedom.
