I saw "cardboard Cory" last month at the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show in Denver. He put in a special appearance for Conservation Colorado.
Replacing Udall with Gardner, and Obama with Trump has literally made absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever — YMMV.
I don't mind trolling Gardner on things like this, but isn't he in DC today helping the cannabis industry get banking rights? Seems like that's a good thing for Colorado.
Given McConnell’s general stance on marijuana legalization (“Not on my watch”) let’s hope the adults prevail and we get mmj banking. I’m not in the policy weeds on that side of the “Cannabis fence”; Cory was good on the hemp issue and generally all of those battles, including banking, will be behind us by 2020.
It may be a good thing for Colorado — but it hints at Gardner's clout with his Republican majority members in the Senate Banking Committee, that they would not find a way to have a hearing where Cory could testify WITHOUT interfering with a Pence appearance for fundraising.
I'm not certain if the responsibility lies with
* the Banking Committee chair and staff, for pulling things together without checking the availability (and possible conflicts) of their witnesses.
* the Pence staff, for setting a fundraising visit for Gardner when Gardner would not be available.
* the Gardner Senate staff, for not speaking up.
* the Gardner campaign, for its lack of coordination with the "real job" of the junior Senator.
I forget — do FEC records of donations provide the date of the donation? I'm wondering just how much a Pence stop for Gardner added to the Gardner effort.
Yes, they’re dated. Gardner’s got some interesting donations from Native tribes…is he working on some gambling, oil and gas drilling rights, or ????
My guess is marijuana banking.
I was wondering about the status of Native tribes with legal cannabis. Are they still jailing people for possession? Can they have cannabis businesses on the Rez?
With high unemployment , hemp would be a huge economic boost. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but I was curious about legal status in states where tribes are still under Federal jurisdiction.
Where would Cory come down on that?
I don't quickly recall the details, but Wyoming tribes won at the SCOTUS earlier this year in a case regarding hunting out of season on tribal land. So, maybe there is a carryover into other areas.
I think it was a 5-4 decision, with the decision being written by Neil Gorsuch.
Where Cory would come down is a good question, considering how Trump cares nothing for Native American issues, as witnessed by his attempt to downsize Bears Ears National Monument in Utah.
There's an excellent resource on that topic here courtesy of the CDC.
Thanks, Genghis and CHB. Since the tribes (these donors, anyway), donating to Gardner are in CA and CT, it has to be a Federal, not a state matter. The Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma donated to Gardner, too, but none of the Colorado tribes like Ute, Arapahoe, or Apache.
Curious….
Those who know him eh?
The tribal issues have been complicated. The 2014 language didn't specifically name the tribes as eligible for research (even though that was the intention) so DOJ took a generally hard-line approach to their activities. The 2018 language specifically empowers them and they, like every state, will propose a plan to USDA for approval under the new law.
They are generally lean towards hemp. Because many of them have ownership in casino's there can be no link between casino ownership and cultivating a Schedule 1 substance. Until the feds deschedule marijuana that's just going to be their reality.
Hemp can be/will be a huge boost to the reservations – and starting in 2020 that will be a reality!
What are the odds that he is going to get anything substantial done? He is appealing to the libertarian dope smokers promising something that his fundy base won't tolerate. Another tease with no progress. Cory is a con man to his conniving core.
Pence came and Gardner didn't? I couldn't care less myself. I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on either of them if their hearts were on fire. But it demonstrates a complete lack of grace on Cory's part. There goes his strategy of cuddling up to The Screaming Yam to get reelected. Yammie-pie holds grudges and I'd say Cory just earned himself one.
Thank Gawd Jefferson Beauregard didn’t get his way with us – Pence night have been shaking hands with some drug dealers in Aspen (just a guess).
Gardner v Udall.
Winner. Loser.
