...Justices, Ashcroft v. Raich, involves two California women with chronic ailments. State lawyers contend the feds have no say over the women's pot use, since no money changed hands and the drug didn't cross state lines. For a court that has expanded states' rights, often to the dismay of liberals, the case is tricky. "Federalism isn't just for conservatives," says Boston University law professor Randy Bennett, who will present the oral arguments for California.

Once the Lions realized the sorry state of the Harvard passing game, all they had to do was shut down Clifton Dawson and wait for an inevitable Crimson mistake...
Rumsfeld was lying, or at least bending the truth. The Bush administration has long held—much to the dismay of the world—that militants fighting for international terror organizations such as Al Qaeda, are unlawful combatants, and thus not subject to the protections of any international agreements. Indeed, of the dozen non-Iraqis removed from Iraq, all of them reportedly had links to terror groups or had entered Iraq after the invasion in March 2003 to engage in terror or aid the insurgency. But defining fighters as unlawful combatants is a slippery slope to descend...
