The lawyer profession is just a dirty prostitute for people with money.

A complete nut says what?

IANAL, but on its face, this seems like a terrible decision. In addition to all of these tests - rational basis, strict scrutiny - the decision to outlaw a particular product because of how it may upset the balance of competition seems something a USSC ought not have the power to do.

[Queen Amalthea]

IIRC, SCOTUS didn't outlaw the product it said it couldn't stop the legislature from doing so.

How much do you weigh, Hon? You should try Almond Milk.
