Marijuana reform activists have created a new super PAC aimed exclusively at defeating Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions, the House Rules Committee chairman who has blocked cannabis reform legislation from reaching the House floor.

Marijuana Policy Project founder and former Executive Director Rob Kampia is leading the effort, which he said is crucial to legalizing medical marijuana federally and affirming federalism for recreational pot, two policies supported in principle by President Trump.

“Everyone knows who he is and that he’s our biggest problem on Capitol Hill. Half of my job has already been done by Pete Sessions himself," Kampia told the Washington Examiner. "All I’m going to do is pass the hat."

I don't support the 16th and 17th Amendments and don't see how anyone can claim to be back to reading the original meaning of the main body of the Constitution as long as the 16th is in effect nor how anyone expects to get Supremes who support an original meaning until State Legislatures once again select Senators.

Other than that, I don't believe the "living document" crap, nor do I see how you or anyone else fail to see that all the excesses of the Drug War are built on the foundation built to enforce the 16th Amendment.

Now go play "do love my personal definition or not" with the other kiddies.

I’ve said for years the 16th and 17th should be repealed. See my FR home page.

It’s a no-brainer to interpret, though. Senators are going to be popularly elected until XVII is repealed.

I’m not sure what we’re arguing about. We agree that the Courts have trashed the Constitution in multiple areas that we both raised.

Yes, cigs stink too, cigars even worse.

I don’t like how the government is cracking down on vaping, it’s the best chance to stop people from smoking.
