Federal law trumps state law ... unless it’s a sanctuary city.

Actually, federal law only trumps state law in the areas where the federal Constitution grants such power to the federal government. There is nothing in the Constitution that grants the federal government the power to regulate a damn thing that occurs entirely within a state's jurisdiction, so, to sidestep those pesky Constitutional limitations on federal power, the SCOTUS decided that somehow the interstate commerce clause applies to marijuana usage and sale, even when that usage or growth/sale occurs only within California state boundaries, which most of it does.

That any person who calls himself a conservative, regardless of his feelings about Marijuana use, would not be alarmed by that usurpation of power is disturbing to me.
