How about immigration? An Obama judge decided that federal laws trump state laws when it comes to immigration.

It seems that most issues are not specific in the constitution, therefore they should be decided at the state level only. But we have gone so far away from that that there’s just no fixing it. And one issue just won’t make a difference anymore.

But I can see that issues involving public safety and health should Be at the federal level, covering all citizens equally even if they live in an idiot state.

The feds control “national security” The states and locals public safety.

If the pot is grown, sold and used instate then the tenth amendment and the restrictions on federal powers mean the feds have no standing.

Your concern for pot smokers safety shouldn’t justify unconstitutional actions on the part of the federal government which now has it’s tentacles in more and more of our lives irrespective of the constitution.
