Drug laws won't be on the fall ballot, but tobacco money will

A carefully planned and well-financed campaign to overhaul Michigan's drug laws crashed Tuesday, as the state Supreme Court declined to place the issue before voters in November.

Without comment, the court upheld decisions issued last week by the Court of Appeals and a state elections panel to keep the drug question off the ballot.

There isn't any Constitutional "right" to use illicit drugs.

That isn't the way the Constitution works and you damn well know it. Just because some of our Rights are enumerated, does not mean that we only have those that are listed. The restrictive clauses are on what Government is allowed to do.

A fact you seem to have conveniently forgotten in your quest for a bigger Nanny State.

Sorry if these judges followed the law.

Like I said, enforcing the law at the expense of justice.

Just because some of our Rights are enumerated, does not mean that we only have those that are listed.

The manufacture, sale and use of illicit drugs isn't a Constitutional "right", enumerated or otherwise.

Take another hit of your bong.

I realize you have to resort to this tired and intellectually pusillanimous cliche in just about every other post, but I'm a total abstainer. The only vested interest I have in this argument is the preservation of liberty.

The libertarians on this thread are as much america haters as al-qaeda.

Screw you, punk. Did you serve in the military?

The libertarians on this thread are as much america haters as al-qaeda. And they would also do anything or say anything to destroy America, just like Al-qaeda. Remember libertarians, when our President says "You're either with us, or against us", he means you too.

Why am I not surprised to see you jumping on that "if you don't agree with me you must be a terrorist" bandwagon.

You're such a freakin' juvenile.

And you're no better than OBL you worthless excrement.

I see the AM yanked that offensive post. Nice work, AM.

Are you kidding? Candyass pukes like VA are the pencil pushing wimps yelling "war, war, war" and sign the papers that send someone else's kid to get killed while they're hiding under their own desk pontificating about military movements and having nocturnal emmissions wishing they had one tenth the cajones of anyone on the front lines.

He's one of the most repulsive Freepers you'll find.

There isn't any Constitutional "right" to use illicit drugs.

Is that what you tell your wife when you're beating her with a rubber hose?

This isn't about a right to "do x". It's about the Government not having the right to conduct a FEDERAL level War on Drugs. Despite whatever tortured, socialist, left-wing misreading of the Constitution you choose to shodily defend your view with. It's obvious you are a big fan of innocents dying in botched raids, rapists and murders being let out early to imprision harmless pot possessors, corrupt LEO's who abuse asset forfiture programs to fatten their wallets, etc etc etc.

And the Libertarians will screech saying that drug validation is not a leftist issue when the proof is in the pudding or should I say bong. - dane -

The Government isn't allowed to. There is no such Constitutional restriction on "We the People..."

There isn't a Constitutional Right to whipe your ass either, that doesn't make it illegal to use Charmin.

Moron.

Anyone who has spent any time on FR has known what a fraud you are- I'm just happy that you have finally shown it so clearly. You know nothing of America, you oppose Liberty.

Bye, bye VA! Shoo, away with you.

And take Dane to D.U. with you.

It's good to see all the little fascist boot-lickers and fart-sniffers on one thread.

My only regret is that my can of Raid won't work through the screen on vermin.

Man! That will be one happy day when these parasites' pensions are cancelled and replaced by prison sentences for treason.

Heads on Pikes!

And no one has denied or discredited on this thread that the biggest pot boosters are leftists who revere Mao, Che, or Ho Chi Minh.
