Some will think this sounds ignorant but why doesn't the president order the Justice Dept. step in? Afterall, if they can go after doctors for prescribing medical marajuana and try to overturn the Oregon assisted suicide law, clearly principals of federalism don't concern them that much. Why not have the Justice Department file a lawsuit in federal court or something?

"Some will think this sounds ignorant but why doesn't the president order the Justice Dept. step in?"

Because he, like the rest of his family, is a coward. They are cowards one and all, finger to the wind, mostly concerned with "not offending".

The utter stupidity of trying to avoid offending your opponents -- even going so far as to offend your base in the process -- cost Pappa Bush his re-election, and it will cost Baby Bushie his re-election, and it will also ensure that Jebbie never darkens the door of the White House.

They are a despicable clan of gutless wonders. Lots of big talk, but no action. All show and no go.
