ya let the dumb get dumber
A federal court finds a situation where state law should not be trumped by federal law? Wonders never cease, but since it involved pot, this probably isn’t anything to get excited about.
Several years ago, the US Supreme Court held that the Federal Government, under the authority of the (interstate) commerce clause, had authority to regulate marijuana that was grown in California, processed in California, sold in California and consumed in California.
Only Justice Thomas could not find interstate commerce on these facts.
Now the Ninth Circuit says state laws must be broken to allow the federal government to prosecute a federal crime???
I give up trying to understand these robed Rasputins.
That’s a little stupid. The feds wouldn’t be prosecuting them for state laws. And the 9th does not have the authority to over rule due process.

So, will this work with federal gun laws too? (9th circuit includes Alaska and Arizona). What about tax law? (Alaska has no income tax)
The Court just enforced an existing federal law passed by Congress and signed by the President barring Obama from using funds to prosecute medical MJ. The Ninth Circuit is often pretty goofy. But this decision looks pretty straightforward to me.
Good decision. 9th Circuit got it right.
So what to do when the court breaks the law?
impeach every one of those ‘judges’. They committed crimes against the USA by refusing to support the laws of the USA.
The goodle 9th... sheesh... it is it hashsheesh...
