Gonzales v. Raich
If you have the time, it's worth reading Justice Thomas' dissent in the medical marijana case recently heard before the Supreme Court:
Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.
