Watch out, you're gonna get labeled a leftist gun grabber for that remark. :)

our (oops I forget what number this Amendment is) "right" to cook meth and smoke pot

That's the 9th and 10th amendments. Glad I could clear that up for you.

"I gather that what's against the law is selling it to drug dealers ..."

Not at all.

The law is written such that the clerk must know that it is being used for illegal purposes. That's why the undercover guys are telling them.

The whole point of the article is that these immigrant clerks "don't understand" English or the slang being used; therefore, they should not be prosecuted for selling 50 boxes (or whatever) of Sudafed to one person.

Too bad. Learn to speaka da English.

Your offensive stereotype is also missing the point. My family came here circa 1640, but I have no idea what "a cook" is, other than something to do with the kitchen.

Then I suggest you do not get yourself a job as a store clerk -- no matter when your family came here.

I suggest that, if you are a cop, you don't try taking a weak case like that before a judge. It's an idiotic argument.
