Did I only dream that the Republicans control both houses of Congress and we have a Republican President.
Just by what magic does she think she will get this passed?

Maybe there are a few Republicans with enough respect for the 10thh amendment to see this through. Probably will be overwhelmed by the authoritarian wing who care more about the reins of power than any principles, but worth a shot.

Modification of federal bankruptcy law, especially liquidation, required. No wind up process available in federal courts, industry stays stunted.

I agree it is a state issue.
But this is now politic 101. Why give a Democrat something for their supporters. It is a lose - lose situation for the Republicans.
If this was so important, why didn’t they do something when they were in charge.

Democrats like to keep the rubes on welfare and stoned so they will vote the right way.

Yep. Absolutely zero reason a legal business should not be able to access banking services.
Makes Marijuana dispensaries huge targets for robbery.
John Dillinger would be robbing them today, and not banks.

Republicans should ignore her and marginalize her every time she opens her mouth or proposes anything.

No doubt, she’ll want to extend this same protection to gun manufacturers and dealers...right?

Honestly, I don't care if they have a (D) or an (R) after their name. If they're right, they're right and if they're wrong, they're wrong. Fauxcahontas is right on this issue. The GOP ought to get right on it as well.

“Marijuana is a controlled substance under federal law.”
How come we had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcoholic beverages, but not for this?

Banking laws are federal mostly. Now a bank taking money from a shop that sells pot when pot is still against Federal Law would seem to cause all manner of legal conundrums. Could this be considered "money laundering"?
If Federal Banking laws are modified to allow banks to legally take money from businesses that sell pot is this the straw that breaks the camel's back that is the Federal war on weed?
This is going to get interesting.
