This took place in October of 2000. Not exactly “news”. |
Doesn't matter. Whatever it takes to get the liberals here at FR all fired up and agitated about all cops are JBT's and the need to surrender in the WOD
There is, however, a huge Constitutional problem with the War on Drugs. The authority for its enforcement can only legitimately come from one of two places [which are, ironically, illegitimate] (a) the power to regulate substances, as the 18th amendment granted, which was repealed by the 21st Amendment [I believe there are cases decided based on precedents set during prohibition], and (b) the commerce clause. The commerce clause is actually very interesting because "the states" appears the list with the Indian nations and foreign nations; now to apply the level of control that they are demanding [from the States] within/upon foreign-nations is an act of war [consider enforcement of such edicts], therefore using it as the justification for the authority to control drugs is extraordinarily... suspect, to say the least.
