We need a tenth amendment solution for this.
Earth to Jeff, there are some bad people in the DOJ and FBI do that job.
That amendment has turned into a worthless collection of words, hasn’t it? I think it’s the most ignored amendment in the entire Constitution.
Oh irony of ironies, has legalization tripped California into a 10th amendment controversy in the 9th circuit? Oh Please! Oh Please!
Probably they'll just craven out over it, but here's hoping!
So what the heck is the federal law on marijuana, and other controlled substances, all about?
If marijuana is banned or illegal or controlled under federal law, is such law constitutional and enforceable in the first place? If states are free to legalize marijuana on their own?
Can the federal law on marijuana even be enforced in states which have legalized it?
To me, this opens up a big issue of federal vs. state laws and regulations and enforcement, apart from the specific issue of marijuana itself.
Could this whole issue go into court? Recall how the courts decided we must have homosexual marriage nationwide, and that the states have ultimate authority over defining marriage, and presumeably, over family law in general.
Definitely should be a state issue.
