And to think that there are conservatives who support Contraband Law and Prohibition—and the Police State which is necessary to enforce it—and the trampling of the Constitution which is necessary to permit it—and the Tyrannical rationalizations that are necessary to justify it.

Please, don't anyone bother to tell me they're a "minimal government conservative" if they'd support this kind of "law enforcement"—this kind of humiliation of an American citizen—for allegedly possessing one of God's own plants—in violation of the State's edicts. And afterwards, the charges were totally dropped, of course.

It just makes my blood boil—and my heart weep—that self-righteous "law and order" types would think this kind of practice—especially out in public— could be acceptable in any universe which supposedly cherishes Liberty...

Well said, sargon. This lady wasn't a terrorist. Our founding fathers fought against the Crown over human rights abuses against Americans.

Taxpayers are going to have to pony up for the coming lawsuit.
