If you want to ban drugs, you are like the Obamas. If you're all for smoking dope, you are like the Obamas. So, either way, you are like the Obamas. It's simple. Get it?
You are apparently far too low mentality to read. I don’ t like drugs as a personal opinion and don’t need anyone to make my decision. Personal responsibility is lacking today. That said you are less than an a**hat, bet you are a flaming retarded lib.
But you don't have a problem with other people selling them to my kids, as long as you're not involved, right?
Your children are your personal responsibility not mine, poor kids! Teach them personal responsibility and good decision making. Bless your little heart! It is again your responsibility if you want good kids. The world will offer many bad things— be a parent teach them.
So you don’t have a problem with people selling drugs to my kids, right? Just to make it clear that you’re a loon.
“Hopefully, if Trump does win, he will reconsider and take the Pot states to court like I stated above and have their legal pot laws thrown out.”
Trump has stated that legalization of cannabis is a state issue.
Vote Trump 2016
“It’s too bad that drug smoking is now a conservative virtue. “
It’s too bad prohibitionists write in non-sequitors. I wonder if you consider it a virtue?
Vote Trump 2016
“Marijuana can kill your motivation, career and family.”
Tripping on steps can kill you too. Let’s criminalize steps.
“Marijuana is a drug that can make an ambitious person lazy.”
Let’s criminalize every lazy person that used to be ambitious.
Vote Trump 2016
You are the loon and I pray your kids survive you. You are so low mentality that talking further to you would be engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed idiot like you. Don’ t contact me again until you grow up!
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Which section of the Constitution do you believe delegates to fedgov the power to regulate intrastate pot?
Abortion is LEGAL under federal law. I guess the States should have no say in that either according to your totalitarian worldview.
The U.S. Constitution doesn’t grant the FedGov that power... From whence do you believe it emanates?
Abortion is murder. I couldn’t care less what two queers choose to do, that’s true... If they choose to believe they are a princess, or a couple, or a tree frog, it does not effect me until your beloved FedGov gets involved.
It’s the damned FedGov that’s putting trannies in the ladies room.... And declaring that homounions are legal.
You remember, the FedGov that you feel has the power to regulate beyond its constitutional powers...
What makes you different to an idiot?
The Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2. Part of it states that where Federal and State laws conflict, the Federal law will be applied. In the case of pot, Federal law still makes it a crime to buy, sell or possess pot. If the Feds ever took the pot states to federal court, the Feds would prevail and the legal pot laws would be ruled unconstitutional based on the Supremecy Clause of the US Constitution:
Hear of the Supremecy Clause of the US Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2), Ace?
Part of that Clause means that if there is a conflict between state and federal laws, the federal law will be applied. Since abortion is currently legal according to Federal law, that is the law of the land and supersede any state law to the contrary.
Same with these state level pot laws, should the Feds ever take them to court, then the Feds would prevail and get the state legal pot laws thrown out due to pot still being illegal according to Federal law.
If you say the Supremacy Clause is the source of power for mj prohibition, then you must also also accept that Obamacare, the EPA and all its predations, welfare, control of education etc. are all legitimate powers of fedgov. The thing mj prohibition has in common with all the preceding is that it relies on the expansive new Deal Commerce Clause.
Do you stand by the above exercises of federal power as being consistent with the Founders view of the Constitution?
So you are saying it is unconstitutional for the Feds to regulate narcotics? Or that it is constitutional for states to make laws that run counter to Federal law?
Supporting legal marijuana is definitely not a Conservative position and does not support law and order.
You need to specify which area of commerce is being regulated. Feds have legitimate constitutional authority to regulate foreign and inter-state commerce. It was not delegated the authority to regulate intra-state commerce. That is left to the states per the Tenth Amendment.
Or that it is constitutional for states to make laws that run counter to Federal law?
Yes, if the federal law violates the 10th Amendment. Read my homepage to see where Free Republic stands on unconstitutional fed agencies and the Tenth Amendment.
__________________________________________________________________
Repeating my question re the Supremacy Clause and Commerce Clause => Do you believe fedgov control over education, health care, the environment etc. is in keeping with the Founder's view of the Constitution, YES or NO?
You either support legal pot or you don’t? You think the DEA is illegal or Unconstitutional? The only reason the pot states have kept pot legal is the refusing to sue them. They and the Feds know these laws would be thrown out if the Feds ever challenged them in court (unless the Feds remove pot from their banned drug list or legalize it themselves).
You either support law and order or you don’t! Supporting Marijuana legalization or a states right to do so that conflicts with long standing Federal Criminal Narcotic statutes IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE POSITION and does not support Law and Order.
I doubt Jim Robinson would agree that legal pot should be a defining states rights issue and also doubt he backs laws that run counter to law and order!!
Simple enough question. Why no answer?
I’m only concerned about states being allowed to flaunt Federal drug laws. Don’t know why you brought these other issues into play!! These have nothing to do with this subject and I doubt Jim Robinson or others would make states legalizing pot the penultimate state legislature rights or 10th amendment issue!!
Again, why do you support legalizing dope and oppose law and order? Supporting states rights to legalize pot in defiance of federal drug laws is not Conservative and counter to law and order, a conservative staple!
Let’s try to stick to the subject of states legalizing pot, shall we. Also in the real world the Supremacy Clause would be invoked by the federal court should they ever have to rule on a lawsuit right by the Feds against a states legal pot law.
