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.
I think the court is saying the Executive branch is violating a law passed by Congress, ie the Rohrbacher Amendment.
“A federal court finds a situation where state law should not be trumped by federal law? “
Actually, it isn’t that good a decision. Wish it were. The Court enforced an existing federal law barring Obama from spending money to prosecute medical MJ cases. So the court was just enforcing a federal law. Not vindicating states rights.
It would have been a better decision had it been based on the commerce clause. But the Supreme Court ruled against that approach a while back (one of Justice Thomas’s few bad decisions).
If that precedent sticks, that camels nose under the tent works a hell of a lot better for us than the enemy!
I wish it was a 10th Amendment ruling, but it is not.
