Dear AIM Freeper:

Your boss wants fedgov to move against States with medical marijuana programs. Has Cliff ever heard of the Tenth Amendment? Cliff apparently shares the same view of the Commerce Clause as Nancy Pelosi:

"The Constitution gives Congress broad power to regulate activities that have an effect on interstate commerce," she notes in a news release. "Congress has used this authority to regulate many aspects of American life, from labor relations to education to health care to agricultural production. Since virtually every aspect of the heath care system has an effect on interstate commerce, the power of Congress to regulate health care is essentially unlimited."

What say you?

I’ve often warned other conservatives bent on the continued use of the commerce clause to wage the WOD and the potential consequences (like ObamaCare) in the future. Now I’m validated in my warning. Their petty desire to tell other people how to live their lives now affect us all.
