Exactly. Remember that the AG was talking about policy, not law. For raids on coffee shops in California to stop he just has to make a call down to the DEA. This is the marijuana equivalent of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Throwing marijuana people a bone, but not fixing the legal conflict. I am against legalizing drugs, but this legal impasse should not be constitutional.
Another example is work place immigration raids. Counter to what the amnesty people tell the public, work place raids require a warrant justified by probable cause. That means a lot of case work by the agents. ICE just pulled the first work place enforcement raid under the new administration. Napolitano ordered a full review of the raid. Sounds like another policy will come down and ICE will be out of the work place raid business, as well. No law has been changed, just agency policy.
Yep, they’re doing it the gutless way, not trying to get Congress to go along and change the law. All too typical for the Executive these days.
