The people speak, will SCOTUS listen?

The reaction to Raich v. Ashcroft keeps rolling in. Slate magazine has a good piece from a first hand observer, Dude, Where's my Integrity? It appears to me that at least O'Connor and Ginsburg are leaning our way.

Also, Loretta Nall checks in with a post featuring a piece from the Birmingham Post Herald that quotes her and gives the Christian Coalition's response.

Meanwhile, poll after poll shows the American public is strongly in support of legalizing this plant for medical use. One hopes the court will take the temperament of the public on this issue into account before rendering their decision.

UPDATE: Sister Geoff checks in at the comment section with another interesting poll from Drug Free America Foundation's page. Even there over 45% believe marijuana is a harmless medicine.
