Alex,

I was watching a documentary series on Netflix called how to change your mind with Michael Pollen. Essentially, it is a series about the potential medical uses for psychedelics. The last episode on mescaline, which is in peyote, mentioned that Scalia had written the majority opinion saying that law enforcement issues took priority over indigenous people's need for its use in their religion thereby making it illegal. I wonder if the case would be decided the same way today, unless they didn't want to legitimize Native American culture's religion.

I think the problem that most have with SCOTUS these days is that they have decided what they think about a case beforehand and then come up with a legal explanation for it, instead of trying to figure out the law first and then apply it to the case.
