I wonder what conservative radio and Fox News is planning to instruct conservatives on what their opinions should be on this?
Big Pharma and Alcohol industry dancing today. Their anti-legalization lobby seems to be working and the Gov is for sale to the highest bidder.
No you are not. You keep complaining about the special prosecutor wide discretion when that exactly what the laws allow.
which is funny because his job right now consists of answering to big pharma, big tobacco, and big alcohol. he's a puppet doing their bidding, not his job.
First they could harken back to Reagan era Dare and claim MJ is the gateway drug of choice for "thugs" and drop outs. Then they probably insert more drug bust reports while playing some stock footage of Cops featuring ghetto ass druggies to scare up their audience and choke up their banquet tv dinners. Months later, they get their plastic genitalialess dolls to comment concern and surprise on the "sudden" surge and increase in criminal activity that only ties in anecdotally with their increased non-opinion reporting but without actual key statistics. They report. The rubes decide.
So we can add this to the list of campaign promises not fulfilled by administration? Ban all muslims from entering country - no Build wall on Mexico's dime - no Lock her up - no Respect state rights - no Wonder if he actually did follow through with any of his campaign promises.
A law is a law. They should not be able to selectively enforce laws like they have done with this and immigration. I agree 100% this should be a state decision but the law is already on the books and thus should be enforced until the law is changed. I fully support changing this law and letting states decide.
And he’s open about wanting laws enforced strictly with disclosing classified information, but loosely when it comes to obstruction of justice. By definition, if you are lenient on the crime of obstruction of justice, you are not serious about crime and the rule of law if it’s okay to obstruct it. Just convenient partisan nonsense to be taking these kind of fake law and order stances. At least there are some conservatives here honest about the law, and the real issue here of states rights. The GOP talks states rights all day when it’s convenient for them but when they are in power have shown no loyalty to their mission statement they’ve been spouting for decades.
Seems there is a big difference intending to enforce the law and making a public statement promoting the fact you are going to actively enforce the law... especially since by doing so you are publicly going against a stated campaign promise made by trump.
I actually agree with the "law is the law" thing here. Corey Gardner and others should put forward legislation to repeal that law and return this power to the states. They won't do it because they don't want to force other Republicans to take an unpopular position on mar1juana. (unpopular as defined by whatever that would be in their state) It's pretty silly to say "We think it should be a state's right issue, but instead of actually trying to make it that way legally we just want the AG to choose not enforce federal law."
No one is saying that though. Everyone on the legalization side wants it descheduled at the federal level but it's pretty obvious at this point that a Republican congress is just going to sit around with their thumbs up their a**es doing absolutely nothing on this issue so the next best scenario is one where the AG leaves enforcement up to the states.
Democrats on the legalization train don't have power but Republicans do. Bring a bill. Make your fellow Republicans take a position on it. If not you deal with an AG who works for a president that doesn't like mar1juana.
