Dickhead(s) of the Week - Two-Thirds of the Supreme Court
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court outlawed the use of medical marijuana. In the majority were Dickheads John Paul "Pope" Stevens, Anthony "JF" Kennedy, David "Cuter" Souter, Ruth Bader "Allen" Ginsberg, Stephen "Ice Cream" Breyer, and Antonin "I Heart Orgies" Scalia.
Generally the Supremes are all states rights all the time, so I'm a bit on the baffled side of this decision. And anyway, the reasons for legalizing marijuana seem infinite, but the kindest of all of them is pain relief for cancer victims or appetite building for AIDS patients.
Clarence "Check Out My John" Thomas avoids Dickheadedness for once in his life, along with Sandra "Night And" Day O'Connor and Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who knows a thing or two about the discomfort of cancer and may just be toking a little on the side.
Fortunately, as the minority opinion acknowledges, the states prioritize their own law enforcement, and most police officers recognize that they've got better things to do than keep Grandma Ada off the wacky tobaccy.

I found it interesting that the New York Times pointed out that the judges said the Congress had jurisdiction to outlaw the use, but not that it was reasonable to do so. I am not sure if this distinction was made by the Supremes themselves, but I would love to believe this was the case.
