Let the feds send in the troops. I don't think it is illegal for a state to change its laws such that instead of saying it is unlawful under state law for anyone to possess marijuana, the law says it is unlawful for anyone under 21 to possess marijuana. When they start setting up distribution networks and that sort of thing they are running the risk of federal intervention. Will the feds really send the troops in? I doubt it. They'll send the DEA in to make a few high profile busts for federal drug crimes and that's about it. Will these California counties win their lawsuits? I don't know and I don't really care.
"I don't know and I don't really care."I think it's more honest to admit that you don't care that California is violating the Supremacy Clause than to say California is not.
"Will the feds really send the troops in? I doubt it."
Me too. I think the AG will simply file a federal lawsuit. Or Congress will start impeaching judges.
And if the issue was any other than marijuana, you'd agree.
