| A Selection of Breyer's Hypotheticals
Now to me, I grant you I'm not an expert, but it looks at about the same level as I have a sensor on my garage door at the lower hinge for when the car is coming in and out, and the raccoons are eating it. So I think of the brainstorm of putting it on the upper hinge, OK? Now I just think that how could I get a patent for that?" ___ Gonzales v. Raich, whether state laws protect sick people who use marijuana for medical reasons from a federal ban on the drug, Nov. 29, 2004: _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. ... So you're going to get around all those examples by saying what?" _Randy Barnett, representing sick clients who have been prescribed marijuana: "By saying that it's all going to depend on the regulatory scheme." _Breyer: "So now what you're saying is, in a commerce clause case, what we're supposed to do is to start to look at the federal scheme and the state scheme and see, comparing the federal scheme and the state scheme, whether, given the state scheme, the federal scheme is really necessary to include this.
Hard work, luck brought about fugitive's capture
After six days of hunting a fugitive who assaulted an Orange County deputy last weekend, undercover officers were closing in Thursday afternoon, following a black, four-door sedan in the Rosemont neighborhood.
Suddenly, the car pulled over, flashed its lights and flagged down the sheriff's "felony squad" trackers that were following. The occupants asked if deputies were looking for "Malik," an acquaintance who was at the nearby home they were renting.
"The passenger handed deputies the keys to his house," said Orange County sheriff's Capt. Lee Massie, who oversees the unit's operations. "He said him, his wife and kid are inside. He said, 'I want you to get him before my kids get home.' "

UW men's hockey: Defense carries Badgers one step closer to home ice
CLOUD, Minn. -- To fully appreciate what kind of effort the University of Wisconsin men's hockey team put forth Friday night, go right to the last page of the box score. That's where you'll find the statistical summary of shots. St. Cloud State got 15 shots on goal; Wisconsin blocked 17 others. That element of team defense is a big part of the formula for road success that churned out a critical 2-1 victory for the Badgers at the National Hockey Center. Add in a determined effort in the 12th-ranked Huskies' end of the ice and a bit of luck near the end, and the 13th-ranked Badgers moved a victory away from essentially locking up a home series in the first round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs. "That's one of the things that we knew we would have to do," Badgers coach Mike Eaves said.
