While a full transcript of Raich v. Ashcroft is not yet available, the AP has been circulating excerpts prepared by Alderson Reporting Company (they do all the transcripts for the Supreme Court). This one, however, baffles me. Tongue-tied? Badly transcribed? Or a new mutant menace?

JUSTICE STEPHEN BREYER: “You know, he grows heroin, cocaine, tomatoes that are going to have genomes in them that could, at some point, lead to tomato children that will eventually affect Boston. You know, we can – oil that’s never, in fact, being used, but we want an inventory of it, federally. You know, I can multiply the examples. And you can, too. So you’re going to get around all those examples by saying what?”

BARNETT: “By saying that it’s all going to depend on the regulatory scheme.”

I’m amazed Barnett was able to come up with an answer to that one.
