Thank you for this comment. Excellent.

What that 9th Circuit decision also did was expose Jacobson v. Massachusetts. So many incorrectly believe -- even the vaunted "Constitutional" lawyer Dershowitx -- that that decision gave the State the "right" to inject. It DID NOT. Jacobson was contesting the validity of the fine imposed on those who declined injection.

The Court in Jacobson ruled that the State was within its bounds of power to impose that fine. Jacobson became a "criminal" when after that ruling he declined to pay the fine, too!

So, no. The State has no power to force injections and Jacobson did not say they did.

You're 100% right in the importance of this most recent 9th Circuit ruling.
