What do I take, after the photo albums, the inhaler and the important papers? Then what? In California the other day, Ava Raich packed the younger kids' special blankets, her grandfather's World War II Marine uniform and his Purple Heart, she told the Los Angeles Times. Diane Doroski fled with an antique toy carousel and her great-grandmother's butter dish. Butch Rey took his wife, three children and two parents.

Nonetheless, federal drug busters have waged an eight-year battle against medipot, closing down cannabis clubs and prosecuting users. The case now before the 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...
