Legalization could possibly reduce the size of government. He does not want that to happen.
The only solution is to elect strict constitutionalists to represent me... and keep on-hand plenty of Hoppe's № 9 to help keep "things" ready for dispatching invasive vermin at bay... well, until the drone strikes take me out.

Someday the useful idiots that voted for this clown just might wake up.
