Imagine!!! . . .
. . . someone lying to Gardner!?! . . .
. . . and a Republican, too???!!???
This is an utterly-delightful Twitter thread full of all kinds of facty-thingys.
You're welcome, Nutlid.
Imagine!!!…
….Gardner being surprised that fellow Republicans are lying to him??!!
In the 1960s & 70s Nixon weaponized the DEA against African Americans and Anti-war activists.
"In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," Donald J. Trump October 29, 2015
OH NO STONERS!
The law is the law. The law is the law. If you don't like the law, change the law…
We did moran. It's embedded in our constitution.
I think Moddy just called Cory a stoner.
Cynthia, too! . . .
Stay the course Senator. They'll thank you.
Stay the course Senator. Some day Cheech and Chong will thank you.
Uh. What were you on in 2012 DUMBASS?
We changed the law then. Also, whatever happened to state's rights? I thought Republicans were all about that.
I thought Republicans were all about that.
Of course they are, when it comes to guns and
fetal gestation vesselswomen.Same way they are all about being deficit hawks when a Democrat is in the White House. Same way they are all about expressing Pro-Life thoughts and prayers when children are being murdered by lunatics with guns.
The 9th and 10th amendments to the U.S. Constitution are also the law, and way outrank Jeff Sessions' eructations, Moron.
Um, you could just introduce legislation to make it legal, rather than try to force the AG to not enforce the law you aren't changing.
Agreed. The non-enforcement of pot laws is a prerogative of the executive branch. If legislators don't like a law, they're supposed to change it. Duh.
HR1227 was introduced in the House last February. I don't believe it (yet) has a Senate companion. Kudos to Polis and Perlmutter for being on the tip of this spear.
Well, with an interim District AG in place who reassures Ms. Coffman, we may be in good shape. Of course, there will be a rotating cast of interim or acting AGs until someone is nominated and confirmed. So if Cory is sincere, he can pretty much insure there will be no one put in place.
Or, he could simply do the right thing, and push a bipartisan amendment onto a "must pass" law, codifying "state's rights" on marijuana. Heck, that might even get cooperation from Bennet that Zappatero wouldn't condemn.
"State's rights" is not the doctrinal hill to die on, and neither the Ninth nor Tenth Amendments have any applicability (nor does the commerce clause, which moron Mike Coffman tweeted about).
There is federal law on marijuana. It is a constitutional law. It is constitutional for the federal government to prosecute marijuana crimes. Claims otherwise verge on being frivolous. Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) upheld the federal prosecution of a Californian who grew pot for his own medical use after the state legalized medical marijuana. The decision was 6-3–the majority were Stevens, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Souter and Breyer, with Scalia concurring. The question on which the dissenters disagreed was whether an individual had the right to grow weed for his own use–there is no question that the three dissenters (Rehnquist, Thomas, and O'Conner) would approve of federal prosecutions of commercial growers and sellers.
Being stupid and claiming that the feds cannot prosecute is distracting from the only possible solution: the law needs to be changed. I hope that Sessions' enthusiasm boomerangs and Congress gets off its ass and does something useful.
Marijuana is illegal under federal law and federal law trumps state law.
That's it. Done. Next.
Real federal law and order man, you are. Yep, that's what I always say.
So Arpaio is a hero for going against the Federal Government, but now Federal law trumps state law. Tell me nutlid. When should state and local control beat the Feds? Also, you and Beauregard are going against the invisible hand of the Free Market.
Oooooo ….. Cory Gardner hits the big time on HuffPost.
Second story in their heap, right behind Bannon becoming Mercerless.
Sen. Cory Gardner Rips Jeff Sessions’ Weed Reversal, Threatens To Hold Up DOJ Nominees
Will Gardner change his mind? If it looks politically advantageous….absolutely. Will he try to take every side of the cannabis legalization fight? Yes, true to his nature, he'll change what he says, depending on his audience.
But for now, I'm reminded of what an ancient sage said: "Not everything Gardner does is evil."
